Summary:
This area has a single school: Harbor City International Charter, a public charter school in Duluth, Minnesota, serving grades 7–12 with 194 students. It is the only school in the Harbor City International Charter district, so district and school figures match wherever both are reported.
The school is one of the strongest in Minnesota by overall state ranking: 33rd of 458 schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars) for 2025–2026, and it placed even higher in recent years — 13th of 473 (97th percentile), 18th of 450 (96th percentile), and 9th of 480 (98th percentile), all with 5 stars. Reading is a clear standout: All Grades reading proficiency is 72.5% versus the state's 48.6%, with 10th grade at 78.4% (state 42.5%) and 7th grade at 76.5% (state 43.5%). Science looks strong overall at 46.6% versus the state's 25.5%, and End of Course science reaches 65.8% versus 35.0%. Completion outcomes also stand out: a 90.4% graduation rate versus the state's 84.9% and a 0.0% dropout rate versus 4.2%.
Math is the main weak spot. All Grades math is 39.1% versus the state's 44.9%, and 8th grade math is 26.1% versus 42.3% — a 16.2-point gap. That follows a stronger prior year, when All Grades math was 52.78% versus the state's 45.21%. Eleventh grade math (44.8% vs. 35.3%) and 7th grade math (47.1% vs. 40.3%) both beat state averages, so the concern is concentrated in 8th grade. Eighth grade science is also comparatively low at 10.0% versus 16.7%. With only 194 students, the student/teacher ratio is 13.6 and 41.24% qualify for free or reduced lunch. Because enrollment is small, year-to-year swings should be read with caution, but rankings remain consistently elite.
