High Schools in Brooklyn Center Community Schools

The Brooklyn Center School District in Minnesota is home to three high schools: Brooklyn Center High School, Insight School of Minnesota, and Brooklyn Center Independent Study. These schools serve a diverse student population, with varying academic performance and socioeconomic challenges.

Brooklyn Center High School stands out as the most racially diverse, with a student body that is 44.9% African American, 26.27% Hispanic, and 19.22% Asian. However, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, particularly in math and science proficiency. In contrast, Insight School of Minnesota, a virtual high school, has a higher percentage of white students (65.03%) and performs better than the district average in reading proficiency, but still lags behind in math and science.

Across the district, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 65.03% at Insight School of Minnesota to over 82% at Brooklyn Center High School and Brooklyn Center Independent Study, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. These factors likely contribute to the district's overall low academic performance and high dropout rates, presenting an opportunity for targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for the students in the Brooklyn Center School District.
