SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 450 Minnesota High Schools

Better than 11% of Minnesota high schools

Summary

Robbinsdale Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school serving grades 6-12 in the Robbinsdale Public School District, with 186 students. Despite its small size compared to nearby traditional high schools, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Minnesota high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Robbinsdale Virtual Academy significantly underperforms the Robbinsdale Public School District and the state of Minnesota in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9.09% of 11th graders were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 16.84% for the district and 34.96% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 53.3% to 84.2% over the past few years, which is lower than the 84.2% rate at the nearby Robbinsdale Cooper Senior High and Robbinsdale Armstrong Senior High. Similarly, the dropout rate has been higher, ranging from 4.2% to 6.6%.

Robbinsdale Virtual Academy serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 53.26% to 68.65% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the 42.32% to 71.44% range at the nearby traditional high schools. While the school's virtual nature may offer opportunities for innovation and improvement, its consistently poor performance across multiple metrics suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to address the root causes of its struggles and better serve the needs of its students and community.
