Summary
St. Michael-Albertville Senior High is a public high school in Saint Michael, MN, serving grades 9–12 with 2,204 students as part of St. Michael-Albertville Schools, a district ranked 28th of 458 in Minnesota. It is the largest school in its nearby comparison set, far bigger than Monticello Senior High, and many nearby programs are alternative, online, transition, or charter schools rather than comprehensive high schools. The school remains a 4-star, top-quartile school, ranked 108th of 473 in 2025–2026, but its rank has fallen from 12th of 476 in 2022–2023, so it is no longer at its earlier top-decile level.
In 2025–2026, reported proficiency was 52.6% in Math, 44.4% in Reading, and 39.7% in Science. Math is above the state but below the district, while Reading is below both the district and the state. Science is a relative strength, above both district and state. Compared with Monticello Senior High, the school has higher math, reading, and science proficiency, even though the comparison school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio. Kaleidoscope Charter High School has similar or slightly higher reading/science scores, but it is much smaller and has a lower graduation rate. Overall academic performance remains above state average, but reported scores have declined across subjects since 2022–2023.
Completion is a major strength: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.3% and the dropout rate was 0.3%, far better than the state, Monticello Senior High, and Kaleidoscope Charter High School. The school also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 15.11%, and a 22:1 student-teacher ratio. Subgroup effectiveness varies: special education students rank in the lower half statewide, and low-SES student effectiveness has declined from top-decile to the 68th percentile. The biggest questions are whether recent rank and test-score declines continue and whether the school can close reading and within-district math gaps while preserving strong science results and graduation outcomes.
