Summary:
ZIP code 55419, in south Minneapolis, contains just one high school: Washburn High, a grades 9–12 school with 1,521 students in the Minneapolis Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no in-ZIP comparisons to make — the most useful benchmarks are the school's own district and the state of Minnesota.
Washburn stands out sharply against its district. The district is ranked 310 of 458 districts statewide, at the 32nd percentile with 2 stars, while Washburn ranked 133 of 473 schools (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 and 126 of 450 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, up from 3 stars in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 89.7% is well above the district's 72.7% and the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate of 3.5% is lower than both the district's 6.0% and the state's 4.2%. Science is a relative strength: all-grade proficiency of 35.5% in 2025–2026 compares with 21.7% in the district and 25.5% statewide, and the End-of-Course science score is essentially at the state level.
Math and reading present a split picture. In all-grade results, Washburn's 41.4% math and 46.6% reading beat the district (37.1% and 41.8%) but trail the state (44.9% and 48.6%). At the specific high-school grades tested, however, Washburn exceeds both: 11th-grade math is 41.4% versus 28.0% in the district and 35.3% statewide, and 10th-grade reading is 46.6% versus 37.7% and 42.5%. The main trend to watch is math, which fell 8.6 points from 50.0% to 41.4% year over year while the district improved slightly and the state slipped only slightly; reading declined 2.68 points, while science gained 2.51 points. For context, 38.33% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 17.8:1, though no district or state comparison is available for those figures.
