Summary:
Zip code 55038 in Hugo, Minnesota contains just one high school in this data set: White Bear Transition Plus Program, a small high school serving grades 11–12 with 51 students, located at 14895 Francesca Ave. N. Because there is only one high school here, there is no local peer group to compare against; the most useful context comes from its parent district, White Bear Lake School District, which is ranked 197th of 458 Minnesota districts (57th percentile, 3 stars).
The district performs above the Minnesota average on every outcome measure provided. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 93.9% versus the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 1.2% versus 4.2%. In 2025–2026 testing, district proficiency is 48.6% in math and 54.1% in reading (state: 44.9% and 48.6%), 41.8% in 11th-grade math (state: 35.3%), and 49.3% in 10th-grade reading (state: 42.5%). Notably, all school-level proficiency values for White Bear Transition Plus Program are suppressed by the state, so its academic performance in math and reading is unknown — not zero, and not evidence of weakness.
The school's profile suggests a specialized, intensive setting rather than a conventional comprehensive high school. Its student-to-teacher ratio is very low at 7.6 to 1, and 50.98% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, just over half the student body. The only school-level outcome figures available are older: a 70.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2022–2023, which should not be compared directly with current district and state rates from a different year. Parents should read the school as a small, support-oriented transition program with strong district-level results around it, but with limited school-specific data to judge it on.
