The following table indicates graduation rates by percentage for the seven mainline high schools in the Minneapolis Public Schools (with absolute number of students graduating given in parentheses), followed by student academic proficiency as indicated by performance on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs).
Notice
that graduation rates are high by comparison to academic proficiency rates, indicating
that many students receive diplomas who nevertheless lack fundamental skills in
reading, mathematics, and science.
The
composite graduation rate across these seven high schools for
Academic Year 2024
(the most recent year
for which data are available)
computes to
82%
(1,480 students graduated versus 1,799
enrolled).
