#1 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: I'm a current high-school senior and I have had an AMAZING experience with my school. For a person dealing with many hardships and finance struggles, North High was very supportive and helped me in all the ways they could. I went from a depressed high-school sophomore failing half my classes who had no hope for my future to a successful high-school senior enrolled in National Honor Society & getting consistent A's/B's in all my classes.

The diversity is very interesting here. You can find students of all colors, races, ethnicity or cultures. No matter who you identify as, you'll find yourself a home here.

I feel safe here as well. There's a respectful and kind police officer that guards our school to keep us safe. She's done a very good job & is efficient with keeping everyone safe.

Overall, attending this school has been a very enjoyable experience to me and I'd recommend this school to anyone in the area.

#2 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: I really enjoyed the community of the Minneapolis school district. I spent kindergarten through 12th grade with them and every year they showed an interest in the students and their needs. On every first day of high school, district representatives would stand outside the school along with teachers and other community members to welcome students back to high school. It was very sweet and was just one of the ways the district was there for us!

#3 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: My experience for the district is I understand what the teachers has taught me and it is easy for me to learn. I got to know other ethnicity, religions and cultured because the Saint Paul Public has students who are different from me and who come from other parts of the world. I got to learn a different languages from them. They have a lot of good support for EL students that need more help with English. Is easier for me to ask a teachers and friends when i need help. I like how the Saint Paul Public School District accept every ethnicity, every race, and every colors. I like how there are people of colors and a lot of classes. It gives a students more option and opportunities on what they want to do and help them prepare for future education and life. I would like to see more teachers other than white so it will help the students of colors feel safe and they don’t need to be scared or worried when they ask for help. And I would like teacher to take students mental health seriously.

Burnsville, MN

#4 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Sophomore: My school has its ups and downs. I like our drumline and the passion that we put into everything. I like our theatre guild! We don't have much money for a set, but we still all build together and it really strengths our community. I think that some of my teachers could definitely care more about the students, but the teachers that do make up for the few that don't. I have always liked my french teacher, and the bittersweet she teaches with, knowing that they may cut her class in a few years due to financial reasons. My school is very diverse and has had its problems with racism and fights. I still love my school though, I like being a Burnsville kid! It has its problems like any school, but I can't help but see the good parts.

#5 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: I enjoyed going to school in this district. The teachers and staff are really nice and they want to see you succeed. I think if they tried to have more counselor and student time for students to speak to counselors about college that would be nice. I was in AVID which is a program our district offers and I loved it. It has really prepared me for college and life in general. My AVID teacher has been my counselor throughout high school and I really appreciate her. I think they should require the class because not all students were able to be in AVID and I feel like it's a really good opportunity for students. Overall I enjoyed the Robbinsdale School District and I'm glad I was able to be a part of it.

Senior: I enjoyed my time in the Austin Public Schools district. While growing up in Austin, this was the perfect place for me to go. There are many classes and opportunities offered. The staff want the students to succeed. The Austin Public School district is a great schooling system to attend and they will carry you through the years. On the other hand, there are a lot of students who behave in ways that are not appropriate for the school day. There can be many distractions.

Roseville, MN

#7 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: Roseville is a very good school district. The teachers are excellent for the most part. A major drawback is that the administration focus on topics other than learning, and our very limited resources follow. Teachers have been fired, programs downsized, and learning has taken a back seat so they can buy iPads that don't work after three years. There is a lot of diversity in the student population, but there is not nearly as much among the administrators or teachers. Sports and activities are very much a part of school culture, and receive a lot of support for the most part. The music program here is the best in the state, especially for band and choir.

#9 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: When I started high school, I personally thought it is going to be very difficult or stressful with no reliable resources or other point of view. I thought it would be like the stereotypical Hollywood high school, where people bullies, dress and act in a cliche setting. However, this high school was great to grow intellectual and mostly to have important memories. I really appreciate my teachers especially from the Art and languages sections, they really changed my perspectives on different topics that we learn as a class.

#11 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Alum: I enjoyed being in the school district so much I decided to work there after I graduated from one of the three high schools in the district. Each high school was nice and provided their own uniqueness to the district. I work their summer kidstop program at an elementary school for children in grades 4-5. The district rally does put the child first and tries to provide parents and families with an abundance of resources to not only take care of their child/children but to offer opportunities to be involved in something. I would definitely recommend any of the schools in the district. All the workers are very passionate about their jobs.

#12 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: What I like about Columbia Heights high school is how diverse the school is. You can walk down the hall and see students with all different cultures. Its a good school for learning about other cultures and education they also offer the AP and PSEO options that give you to help your future for college. The teachers truly care about the students they are always willing to stay after for extra help for the students to make sure they can get their credit. The deans are also very helpful you can make appointments with them and they are always there no matter what to talk about tests, transcripts or grades, whatever you need they're there for you. Even when it grades the school still knows how to have fun with the athletics and clubs that are flexible so you can keep your academics good. Everyone in the school is so helpful and so caring you know you can trust everyone. the students to the deans, whenever you're going through a tough time they are there for you all the way till graduation.

Alum: I think my experience was a great one at Richfield Public Schools. The teachers at the high school and middle school greatly affected my life, and I am still friends with some as I continue through college. The teachers will help you if you need help, but will only do so if you vocalise to them that you actually need help - which I think is an important thing to learn in high school as you prep for life outside of school

#14 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: Going to school at Brooklyn Center High school is one of the best experiences that I had. I had the opportunitiy to play football, and joining other activities that is very enjoyable. The best part of Brooklyn center high school is the help that they offered me as a new commer. Teachers are nice and always willing to help you with your classes anytime. It's easy to be friend with teachers, tutors, and students. The little issue that we had at Brooklyn Center High School is the school is not a big school and that affect the amount of programms or classes we should have, beside thar the school is fabulous.

#16 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Parent: Treknorth is that one school where you don't have to worry about fitting in or of the faculty/staff care about your kids. The staff show how important each child is everyday. When my son started at treknorth he was very scared that he wouldn't have any friends just moving there and that he wouldn't fit in. After the first day i asked how did school go and hew told me that he made three friends and really likes his weird teacher. This child hadn't had a friend in multiple years, but at treknorth friendship is a large corner stone of their program.

#20 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: At Jefferson High School, the student to teacher ratio is fairly low, so students can easily approach teachers with questions. There’s many of resources provided to help teens learn, such as the media center, and they even have used ACT and AP study books that students can check out for free! Also, they have a great College and Career Center where counselors advise students on their college options. As far as sports go, we have many kinds of sports teams and excellent coaches, along with a small and large gym.
Even though the school is majority white (I’d say roughly 2/3), teachers, students and staff still constantly promote and accept diversity. We even have a “Diversity Day” where teens of different ethnic backgrounds make posters with fun facts, food samples, and games to give people a taste of their culture (ex: Somalian, Guatemalan, Nigerian).

#21 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Alum: West Saint Paul was a great area to grow up in. Throughout my years of school I gained many friends for life. I even enjoyed playing on the local youth hockey teams. Growing up in West Saint Paul/Mendota Heights molding me to become the person I am today. If it wasn't for the supportive community I wouldn't be able to say I have played twenty three years of competitive hockey, played some college and professional and now serving in the U.S Military as a paratrooper. The people I grew up with I still keep in contact to this day and look forward to seeing them every time I come back home to visit. After my enlistment I am excited to move back home and start my own family in the same city I grew up in, West St. Paul.

#22 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Junior: I loved my experience in the Shakopee public school district! The teachers were always engaging and never left a student behind. The culture was diverse and inviting to all. The students in this school district are annoying, but that's at every school. We have good teachers and the food is average, and the most special thing about Shakopee is the academies at the high school. The academies break up by student interest. We have a health wing, an art wing, a tech wing, and a couple of others. It didn't help me much since they started this only a couple of years ago, but the goal is to lead students starting freshmen year to the kind of career path they will explore more when they get to college. So our district is becoming very college-ready.

#23 Most Diverse School Districts in Minnesota
Senior: I have been apart of the Marshall public school system since kindergarten and I believe it has prepared me very well. I would not change where I went because I believe they have set me up well to be successful in life. Marshall has higher expectations for their students and want them to be successful in everything they pursue. The staff has made me who I am today. They challenge their students but are also there for you if you need additional help. There is many teachers there that I feel I can connect with and trust. Marshall also has many activities that they offer their students and they all are very successful at preparing their students for a future in them. The coaches push their athletes to be he best they can be while also encouraging an education.

Junior: I like how modern the school is. SLPHS has great furniture and spaces for students to learn freely. SLPHS is also a strong believer in social justice and racial equality. However, I believe the school lacks culture. I believe the school should open up more cultural clubs or amplify celebrations like Black History Month. Overall, my experience at SLPHS was great but the school should start showing appreciation to the diversity at the school.

Senior: I've gone to SSP schools my whole life. Overall, the experience has been beneficial, one must be willing to put in the work in order to get into the more challenging classes that will better prepare for college. The teachers are excellent, but as with any place, there is always room for improvement. Reprehension for bad behaviour could be improved by stricter cell phone policies. Ultimately, I've enjoyed it there, it has opened up many fantastic opportunities and I am thankful for that.

Parent: We have 2 boys currently attending WES. One is in his 3rd year there and a 2nd grader and the younger is 2 months into his first year (kindergarten). Both love their school and the teachers; they can't wait to go to school every single day.

I'm always surprised at how fast they learned to read and they're now writing stories at home...for fun! The school's focus on being kind, confident, and prepared is definitely the right direction and this mentality shows in each of their students. The parents with whom we interact are also very nice and some have become good friends. The administration staff is exceptional. It shows every day in every teacher and staff member. The head of school is out there every morning welcoming kids to school, helping with drop off, and greeting everyone by name.
