Summary:

Saint Michael, Minnesota has 8 schools serving about 5,178 students, all within the St. Michael-Albertville Schools district: three elementaries (grades 1–4), one middle school (grades 5–8), and four high schools — two of them very small nontraditional programs. The district ranks 28 of 458 in Minnesota (94th percentile, 5 stars), with all-grade proficiency above the state in math (58.2 vs 44.9), reading (59.9 vs 48.6), and science (30.0 vs 25.5).

Elementary schools are the academic engine here. St. Michael Elementary posts the highest elementary math (71.9) and reading (64.7) scores and improved its state rank from 154 of 872 to 101 of 869. Big Woods Elementary is close behind in math (67.7) and reading (60.3) and has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate among elementaries at 17.99%. Fieldstone Elementary School (math 65.6, reading 61.7) completes a trio in which all three beat district and state averages. St. Michael-Albertville Middle East is the highest-ranked school in the city — 43 of 546, 92nd percentile, 5 stars — steady at the 91st–92nd percentile for three years, with strong 6th-grade reading (71.7) and 8th-grade math (60.6).

St. Michael-Albertville Senior High is by far the largest school, with 2,204 students (42.6% of city enrollment). Its graduation rate is 97.3% and dropout rate 0.3%, both better than district and state, and its grade-level test scores exceed district and state averages, though its overall rank slipped from 66 of 480 to 108 of 473. The small high programs differ sharply: STMA Online - Secondary (66 students, ratio 4.2) has an 11.7% dropout rate and suppressed scores; Knights Academy (39 students, 51.28% free/reduced lunch) reports 0% math with reading and science suppressed; and Wings Transition Program (15 students, grade 12 only) has no test or graduation data. Dashes mean the state suppressed values for privacy — they are not zeros.
