Summary:
ZIP code 55047 has two public elementary schools, both serving grades K–5 in Marine on Saint Croix, Minnesota: Marine Area Community School and Marine Village School. Both are small (enrollments of 112 and 92), each reports as its own district, and there are no middle, high, or alternative schools in the data for this area.
Marine Village School has the stronger current profile: a district rank of 38 of 458 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), with all-grade reading at 71.1% versus the state's 48.6% and math at 55.6% versus 44.9%. Its 3rd-grade math (68.2%) and 4th-grade reading (68.8%) stand out. Marine Area Community School is the improvement story, climbing from the 25th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 66th percentile in 2025–2026 (3 stars), and its reading (64%) and math (50%) now exceed state averages. Both schools improved in math: Marine Area from 38% to 50%, Marine Village from 46.15% to 55.6%.
Reading is the clearest shared strength, with Marine Area rising from 46% to 64% in a single year. Science is mixed or unknown: Marine Area slipped to 23.1% versus the state's 25.5%, while Marine Village's 2025–2026 science figures are suppressed by the state. Notably, Marine Village has higher free/reduced lunch participation (14.13% vs 10.71%) and a much higher student-teacher ratio (22.7 vs 10.5) yet posts the stronger results. With roughly 15–19 students per grade, a single student can move a percentage several points, and suppressed values mean the result is unknown, not low.
