Summary

Robbinsdale Armstrong Senior High is a public 9–12 high school in Plymouth, MN, serving 1,840 students in the Robbinsdale Public School District, and it is the largest school in its immediate comparison group. For 2025–2026, the school ranked 254th of 473 Minnesota high schools (46th percentile, 2 stars), down from its 2021–2022 peak of 134th of 472 (72nd percentile, 4 stars). The district itself ranks 335th of 458 statewide (27th percentile, 1 star). Even so, Armstrong remains the highest-ranked school among nearby Robbinsdale-area alternatives.

Compared with nearby schools, Armstrong posts the strongest outcomes. Its graduation rate is 89.8% and dropout rate 2.3%, both better than district and state figures, while Robbinsdale Cooper Senior High graduates 83.9% with a 5.5% dropout rate, Robbinsdale Virtual Academy graduates 55.5%, Highview Alternative Learning Center 43.1%, and North Education Center Academy 25.0% with a 20.8% dropout rate. Available test scores also favor Armstrong. About 43.7% of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch, well below the roughly 69% to 76% at those nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 23.8 is the highest in the group.

Yet Armstrong still trails the state in core subjects. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 23.2% versus the state's 44.9%, and reading was 41.9% versus 48.6%; science was 29.8%, above the state all-grades figure of 25.5% but below the state End of Course figure of 35.0%. Math has fallen below the state in every recent year shown, and reading and science dropped sharply from 2024–2025, when they were 57.73% and 44.14%. Effectiveness ratings also vary widely across student groups, with low-income students rated notably lower than the school overall and several groups declining year over year. Graduation and dropout results remain stronger than test proficiency alone would suggest.

AHS offered me every opportunity to advance my education to its greatest potential. Excellent AP programs and generally great teachers. Websites like this want to punish schools with racial and income diversity by focusing on standardized test scores instead of the overall educational gains a school can provide to its students regardless of their incoming educational attainment. AHS is a good school for everyone. Close Quote
