Summary:
ZIP code 55418 in northeast Minneapolis is home to two high schools serving grades 9–12: Edison High, part of Minneapolis Public School District, and St. Anthony Village Senior High, part of St. Anthony-New Brighton Schools. Together they enroll about 1,600 students, but their academic profiles are strikingly different.
St. Anthony Village Senior High is the clear academic standout. It ranked in the 64th percentile statewide in 2025–26 with 3 stars, holding steady in the mid-60s for three years, and its district ranks 88th percentile with 4 stars. Its graduation rate is 90.1% and dropout rate 2.3%, both better than the state (84.9% and 4.2%). In 2025–26 it exceeded state proficiency in science (31.1% vs. 25.5%), 11th-grade math (43.1% vs. 35.3%) and 10th-grade reading (44.1% vs. 42.5%). By contrast, Edison High ranked in the 20th percentile with 1 star, down from the 30th percentile a year earlier. Its graduation rate is 77.8%, its dropout rate 4.9%, and it trails the state in every subject: math 13.3%, reading 30%, science 12.1%.
Context matters for parents comparing these schools. Edison serves a far higher-need population, with 70.29% of students on free/reduced lunch versus 29.92% at St. Anthony, and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.4 vs. 18.9) — showing smaller classes alone don't guarantee higher results. One shared concern: reading proficiency fell at both schools from 2024–25 to 2025–26, sharply at Edison (44.26% to 30%) and more moderately at St. Anthony (54.89% to 44.1%). Families should weigh outcomes alongside each school's strengths and student needs.
