About Minneapolis School Finder

Welcome to Minneapolis School Finder, the only guide that provides students and families with information on all schools serving Minneapolis. Minneapolis School Finder provides accessible and easy to understand information for families. 

We believe that great schools have the power to change lives. Students in Minneapolis who graduate from a high-performing school are six times more likely to earn a postsecondary degree, resulting in an additional $900,000 in earnings throughout their lifetime.

We invite you to use this guide to help find a school that meets the academic & social-emotional needs of your child, one that will prepare them to thrive in their life, career, and community.

Great MN Schools has worked with parents & community partners to improve the information we provide through the Minneapolis School Finder. We answered a call from families to provide more transparent & parent friendly school quality information, and have included more information each year. In the 9th edition of the Minneapolis School Finder you will see an improved look at equity via an equity rating that includes both intra-school and inter-school equity calculations.

Minneapolis School Finder includes 138 school profiles, with information on academic performance, special programming, and student safety, as well as dozens of other data and information. Use this guide on your journey to find a great school and find answers to some frequently asked questions here. We encourage you to use the interactive tools to help you find the best-fit school for your child.

We believe every child deserves a school that sets them up for success in life—a school that delivers rigorous academic outcomes & offers a safe, relevant learning environment. We hope Minneapolis School Finder helps you find it!
