Summary

MNSync Online Secondary is an online school serving 292 students in grades 7–12 within the Rochester Public School District in Rochester, Minnesota, where it is rated 1 star and ranks 423rd of 473 high schools statewide (11th percentile) in 2025–2026 — well below its own district, which sits at 227th of 458 in Minnesota.

The contrast with nearby schools is striking. Mayo High School, only 0.8 miles away in the same district, is rated 4 stars and ranks in the 79th percentile, with a 91.8% graduation rate, a 2.8% dropout rate, and proficiency around 48% in math, 52% in reading, and 34% in science. MNSync graduates 67.1% of its students, has a dropout rate of 8.9% (more than double both the district's 3.0% and the state's 4.2%), and posts proficiency of 10.3% in math, 22.6% in reading, and 5.9% in science. Among nearby alternative and secondary programs, results are mixed: Rochester Beacon Academy has a lower graduation rate (60.0%) but higher proficiency in all three subjects, while Rochester Math & Science Secondary has much stronger math and reading scores and a 100% graduation rate, though 0% in science.

Grade-level data show severe weak spots, including 0% in 8th grade math and science and 20% in 7th grade math. Graduation slid from 84.6% in 2021–2022 to 57.8% in 2023–2024 before rebounding to 67.1%, while the dropout rate rose over the same period. About 49% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — more than Mayo but far less than Rochester Math & Science — so economic factors alone do not explain the results, and the school's lower student-teacher ratio has not translated into stronger outcomes. Its weakest relative results are for female students (4th percentile) and low-income students (7th percentile).
