Its math proficiency of 43.5% trails both its district (48.6%) and the state (44.9%), though it rose from 32.29% the previous year. Gentry Academy High shows the biggest turnaround, climbing from 338 of 480 (30th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–2024 to 86 of 450 (81st percentile, 4 stars) and 139 of 473 (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026; its reading (53.3%) and science (40%) are strong, while math dropped from 42.31% to 27.3%. Passages Transition Program, a 10-student program in Mahtomedi Public School District ranked 12 of 458 (97th percentile, 5 stars), lists no outcome data.
The other three schools are small alternative settings. White Bear Area Learning Center, with the highest FRPL (60%), reports 0% math proficiency, suppressed reading, and an 82.2% graduation rate near the state average. South Campus Education Center and 916 Mahtomedi Academy report mostly suppressed test data with graduation rates of 0.0% and 53.3%. Across the area, math is the shared weak spot: no school with reported math scores reaches the state's 44.9%, while reading and science often exceed the state. Suppressed results were withheld by the state to protect student privacy and should be read as unknown, not zero.
