Summary

Robbinsdale Cooper Senior High is a comprehensive public high school serving grades 9–12 in New Hope, Minnesota, with about 1,396 students, making it one of the larger high schools in the Robbinsdale Public School District.

Statewide, Robbinsdale Cooper Senior High ranked 399th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 (16th percentile, 1 star), and it has stayed in the bottom quartile for roughly a decade. Its academic results trail the district and state on all three tested subjects: 11th-grade math proficiency is 8.8% (district 16.6%, state 35.3%), 10th-grade reading is 23.6% (district 34.7%, state 42.5%), and Science End of Course is 18.2% (district 24.8%, state 35.0%). The same-district benchmark Robbinsdale Armstrong Senior High scores 23.2% in math, 41.9% in reading, and 29.8% in science, while the much smaller Prairie Seeds High School Academy also outperforms Cooper despite similar poverty levels.

Completion outcomes are also a concern: graduation was 83.9% in 2024–2025, below the state's 84.9% and well behind Armstrong's 89.8%, and has slipped from 90.7% in 2021–2022; the 5.5% dropout rate is above district and state levels and more than double Armstrong's. Cooper's poverty context is high, with 70.4% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, compared with 43.7% at Armstrong. Its reported student-to-teacher ratio of 17.6 is lower (better) than Armstrong's 23.8, so staffing as measured here does not explain the outcome gaps. Results vary across student groups; some rank near the middle of statewide peers, while others rank much lower, though small group sizes mean these figures can swing from year to year. Two other nearby listings, Robbinsdale Transition Center and North Education Center Academy, serve specialized or alternative populations and are not direct comprehensive-high-school comparisons.
