Schools in Zip Code 55013

Zip code 55013 is home to six schools serving roughly 3,466 students across grades PK–12: three elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools. Five of the six belong to Chisago Lakes School District, which ranks 162 of 458 districts statewide (65th percentile, 3 stars). The sixth, TRIO Wolf Creek Distance Learning, is its own district and ranks near the bottom statewide (431 of 458, 6th percentile, 0 stars). Chisago Lakes Elementary serves PK–1 only, so it has no state test scores or rank history here.

Chisago Lakes Middle is the clear academic standout, ranking 37 of 546 schools (93rd percentile) with 5 stars. Its All Grades math proficiency is 62.4% and reading 62.8%, far above the district (51.8% and 53.8%) and the state (44.9% and 48.6%), and its rank has climbed from the 88th to the 93rd percentile over three years. Lakeside Elementary also exceeds the state in math (49.7%) and reading (52.9%), though its rank has slipped from the 79th to the 57th percentile. Taylors Falls Elementary sits near the state in math (46.1%) and reading (49.4%) but holds at 2 stars and the 43rd percentile, with science (16.7%) well below the state’s 25.5%.

The two high schools diverge sharply. Chisago Lakes Senior High posts strong completion outcomes — a 93.7% graduation rate and a 1.9% dropout rate, both better than state — yet its math (29.1%) and reading (34.8%) proficiency trail district and state, and its rank fell from the 73rd to the 45th percentile. TRIO Wolf Creek Distance Learning faces severe challenges: 0% math and 19% reading proficiency, a 53.6% graduation rate, a 21.9% dropout rate, and 0 stars. Its science results are suppressed by the state, so they are unknown rather than zero.
