The 55082 zip code area in Minnesota is home to two high-performing middle schools: Stillwater Middle School and St. Croix Prep Academy Middle. Both schools consistently outperform state and district averages on academic assessments, with St. Croix Prep Academy Middle emerging as the standout institution in the area.

St. Croix Prep Academy Middle is ranked 3rd out of 519 Minnesota middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students demonstrate exceptional proficiency in MCA-III Math and Reading assessments, significantly outperforming state and district averages. In contrast, Stillwater Middle School, while still a strong performer, is ranked 26th in the state.

The difference in academic performance between the two schools may be partially attributed to demographic factors, such as the lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients and the smaller student-teacher ratio at St. Croix Prep Academy Middle.
