Summary

St. Francis High is a public comprehensive high school in Saint Francis, Minnesota, serving grades 9–12 with 1,139 students as part of St. Francis Area Schools.

Parents will find two very different stories here. Completion outcomes are excellent: the graduation rate was 95.7% in 2024–2025, above the district's 89.0% and the state's 84.9%, and the dropout rate was just 1.1%, well below the district's 3.1% and the state's 4.2%. Science is a clear academic strength at 42% proficiency in 2025–2026, far above the district's 25.8% and the state's 25.5%, and it has topped both for several years running. Math is solid at the tested grade — 43.5%, above the district's 40.4% and the state's 35.3% at 11th grade. Reading is the concern: 32.4% proficiency in 2025–2026, down from 50.78% the prior year and 56.91% in 2022–23, and below the state's 10th-grade result of 42.5%. The school's overall rank fell to 213 of 473 (55th percentile, 3 stars) from 74th percentile a year earlier.

Compared with nearby schools, St. Francis posts slightly higher graduation than Andover High School (95.7% vs. 95.1%) and higher science (42% vs. 38.2%), though Andover's reading is much stronger (51.1% vs. 32.4%) and St. Francis serves a higher share of students from lower-income families (26.34% vs. 16.5% free or reduced lunch). Pact Charter Secondary also outpaces St. Francis in reading (53.9%) but trails in graduation (85.0%) and science (24.5%). Same-district alternative programs such as Saints Academy and Riverside Academy serve specialized populations and are not like-for-like comparisons. Subgroup rankings dropped broadly in 2025–2026, with most student groups landing between the 40th and 54th percentiles after several ranked far higher the year before. Reading is the trend to watch.
