Summary:
ZIP code 55308 covers Becker, Minnesota, and contains 2 high schools serving grades 9–12 — Becker Senior High and Becker Alternative Learning Program — both part of the Becker Public School District. Together they enroll 905 students, with 881 at Becker Senior High (about 97.3%) and 24 at the alternative program (about 2.7%).
Becker Senior High is the large comprehensive school and has the fuller data picture. Its graduation rate is 92.3% (district 92.4%, state 84.9%) and its dropout rate is 4.0% (district 4.0%, state 4.2%) — both stronger than state averages. Science is its clearest strength: 36.3% proficient in 2025–2026 and 46.15% in 2024–2025, above both district and state each year. Math and reading lag by comparison — 31.4% in math and 33.3% in reading in 2025–2026, below state and district. Its ranking also slipped, from 61 of 480 (87th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 236 of 473 (50th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, now near the state median even though the district overall sits at the 70th percentile with 4 stars.
Becker Alternative Learning Program has a very different profile: a free/reduced lunch rate of 41.67% versus 17.03% at Becker Senior High (about 2.45 times higher) and a student-teacher ratio of 24 versus 18.6. Its reported math proficiency is 14.29%, well below district and state, and its science scores are suppressed, so they are unknown rather than a sign of weakness. No rank, graduation, or dropout data are provided for it. With only 24 students, one student equals about 4.17 percentage points, so its percentages swing easily; at Becker Senior High, one student is about 0.11 percentage points. Test years also differ between the two schools, so comparisons are not perfectly apples-to-apples.
