Summary:
ZIP code 55071 (Saint Paul Park, Minnesota) is served by two public elementary schools, both part of South Washington County Schools: Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion, a K–5 school with 561 students, and Pullman Elementary, a PK–5 school with 420 students. The district overall ranks 144 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 69th percentile with 3 stars.
Nuevas Fronteras Spanish Immersion is the stronger performer by most measures. In 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency it led Pullman Elementary in every subject — math 50.4% vs. 36.1%, reading 45.1% vs. 35.7%, and science 26.7% vs. 13.6%. It also ranks 447 of 869 statewide (49th percentile, 2 stars), compared with Pullman at 660 of 869 (24th percentile, 1 star). Nuevas’s free/reduced-lunch rate is 18.36%, versus 39.76% at Pullman. Notably, Pullman has the smaller classes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8 versus Nuevas’s 18.6, yet that does not carry over into higher test proficiency here.
Grade-level results are uneven at both schools. Nuevas’s standout is 4th-grade math at 68.9%, above district and state, while its 5th-grade math is 31.4%, below both. Its reading rises by grade: 34.8% in 3rd, 48.9% in 4th, and 52.3% in 5th. Pullman’s best result is 3rd-grade math at 52.0%, still below district and state, and its weakest is 5th-grade science at 13.6%, about half the state figure. Comparing 2024–2025 with 2025–2026, Nuevas slipped in math and reading but improved in science, dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars; Pullman declined in all three subjects and held 1 star.
