Summary:
Zip code 55443 in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota is served by a single public high school: Park Center IB World School, a grades 9–12 campus with 2,061 students in the Osseo Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no nearby public high school peers to compare it with; the most useful benchmarks are its own district and Minnesota state averages.
The school’s state ranking places it in the bottom tier of Minnesota high schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 413 out of 473 high schools — the 13th percentile — with a 1-star rating, down from the 18th percentile in 2023–2024. Its district, by contrast, holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 38th percentile. Outcomes reflect that gap: graduation is 82.1%, slightly under the district’s 85.3% and the state’s 84.9%, while the dropout rate is 7.8%, well above the district’s 5.7% and nearly double Minnesota’s 4.2%. Test proficiency is the steepest concern. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 11% versus 44.9% statewide, reading 21% versus 48.6%, and science 13.5% versus 25.5%. Eleventh-grade math was also 11%, so the low math result is not simply an artifact of how grades are combined.
Reading showed the largest recent change, falling from 32.52% in 2024–2025 to 21% in 2025–2026, though the reading exam changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV, so that comparison should be treated cautiously. Science is the school’s relative strength among tested subjects, but it remains about 12 points below the state. With 63.42% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, Park Center serves a largely economically disadvantaged population. The IB World School designation is a notable programmatic feature, but the available data does not break out IB-specific results.
