Summary:
ZIP code 55003 in Bayport, Minnesota contains just two schools serving a combined 336 students: Andersen Elementary, a PK–5 school with 327 students, and MN Correctional Facility-Stillwater, a 9–12 school with 9 students. The area has one elementary, no middle school, and only one high school — the correctional facility — so there is no traditional comprehensive high school in this ZIP code.
Andersen Elementary is the only school here with academic performance data, and it is improving. Its state rank rose from 515 of 881 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024 to 415 of 869 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. It belongs to Stillwater Area Public Schools, a district ranked 47 of 458 (90th percentile, 4 stars), so the school sits in a strong district while ranking near the middle among state schools. Strengths include all-grade math at 52.3% proficient (state: 44.9%), science at 26.5% (state: 25.5%), 3rd grade math at 61.1%, and 5th grade math at 53.1%, which beats both district and state. The clearest weak spot is reading: all-grade reading is 46.4%, below the state's 48.6% and well below the district's 59.2%, and every reported grade level in reading trails both. Fourth grade math, at 42.0%, is 26.4 points below the district and 13.2 points below the state. Math and science both improved year over year while district and state averages dipped slightly.
MN Correctional Facility-Stillwater, part of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, stands out for its context rather than test results: 9 students and a 66.67% free/reduced lunch rate, versus 18.04% at Andersen. No test scores, rank history, or student/teacher ratio are reported for it, which means that information is unknown from this data set — not evidence of low performance. With only 9 students, a single student shifts the FRL rate by about 11.1 percentage points, so that percentage should be read with caution. Families should note that local school data here is dominated by one elementary school.
