Summary:

ZIP code 55025 covers 11 schools in and around Forest Lake, Minnesota — 4 elementary, 1 middle, and 6 high schools enrolling 5,352 students — served by three districts: Forest Lake Public School District (7 schools, 69.2% of enrollment), Lakes International Language Academy (2 schools), and North Lakes Academy (2 schools).

Among the standouts, Columbus Elementary posts the area's highest math (68.2%) and reading (56.4%) proficiency, ranking at the 75th percentile with 4 stars. LILA Upper School has the strongest graduation profile at 96.6% with a 1.6% dropout rate, plus 54.5% reading. Forest Lake Area High School shines in science at 58.0% — far above the state's 25.5% — and climbed to the 80th percentile, 4 stars. Forest Lake Area Middle School is a stable 4-star performer with 49.6% math and 51.6% reading.

Challenges cluster at Forest View Elementary (1 star, 21st percentile, 32.8% math, 35.7% reading), Forest Lake Area Community School (0 stars, 8th percentile, 55.1% graduation, 6.9% dropout), and North Lakes Academy 7-12 Campus (19.3% math). Notably, Forest Lake Area High School's math (40.6%) and reading (41.9%) lag even as its science excels, and middle-grade science is low across the area. Free/reduced lunch rates span 15.37% to 52.94%, and the widest theme is polarization: high- and low-performing schools sit in the same ZIP and even the same district.
