Summary:

Stillwater Area Public Schools in Minnesota includes three high schools — Stillwater Area High School, St Croix Valley Area Learning Cntr., and Bridge Transition Program — serving grades 7 through 12 in the Stillwater area east of the Twin Cities. Together they enroll 2,770 students, and Stillwater Area Public Schools ranks 47 of 458 in Minnesota (90th percentile, 4 stars), though the three schools differ sharply in size and mission.

Stillwater Area High School is the flagship, with 2,658 students in grades 9–12, about 96% of high school enrollment. It ranked 55 of 473 (88th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 and 36 of 480 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024. Its graduation rate is 96.0% (district 95.0%, state 84.9%) and dropout rate 0.4% (state 4.2%). Test results top the state: 11th-grade math 56.1% vs 35.3%, 10th-grade reading 50.1% vs 42.5%, and science EOC 44.3% vs 35%. Math climbed from 49.15% to 56.1% while district and state math stayed roughly flat; reading fell from 63.05% to 50.1%, a steeper drop than district or state, though the reading exam changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV. Free/reduced lunch is 19.64%, and the student-teacher ratio is 21.7.

The other two schools serve smaller, higher-need groups. St Croix Valley Area Learning Cntr., with 75 students in grades 7–12, ranked 449 of 450 (0 stars) in 2024–2025. Its math proficiency was 0% in both years — an exact reported value, not a suppressed one — while reading was 0% in 2024–2025 but suppressed in 2025–2026, and science was suppressed both years. Graduation is 79.0% and dropout 2.3%, still below the state's 4.2%; free/reduced lunch is 45.33% and the ratio 12.5. Bridge Transition Program, grade 12 only with 37 students, reports no rank, graduation, dropout, or test data; free/reduced lunch is 40.54% and the ratio 7.4. Throughout this data, "—" means the state suppressed the value to protect student privacy — it is unknown, not zero. Overall, the district's strong standing rests almost entirely on its largest school.
