Summary:
ZIP code 55108 in Saint Paul, Minnesota contains seven elementary schools enrolling about 3,904 students total, with grade spans that include PK–5, K–5, K–6, K–8, and 1–6; two of the schools are part of Saint Paul Public Schools, while the other five operate as charter or alternative district schools. School sizes vary widely, from 305 students up to 1,017, and academic performance differs dramatically from one school to the next — the state comparison for 2025–2026 is 44.9% proficient in math, 48.6% in reading, and 25.5% in science.
Two schools stand out as clear high performers. St. Anthony Park Elementary is the top school in the area across all three subjects, reaching 68.7% in math, 65.6% in reading, and 36.4% in science, with a 4-star rating at the 86th percentile. Chelsea Heights Elementary is close behind with 58.3% math, 56.7% reading, and 32.8% science, also 4 stars and improving steadily. Great River Elementary School is a partial standout, beating the state in reading at 56.6% and matching it in science, but falling below in math. Notably, the two strongest schools outperform their own district's overall rating.
The remaining four schools score below the state in every subject. Minnesota Connections Academy K-6 and Hmong College Prep Academy Elementary School are the largest schools in the area, together enrolling roughly half of all students, and both rank near the bottom statewide; New Century School and Midway Star Academy also rank low. Science is the weakest subject area overall, and grade-level results show both bright spots and severe gaps. Because the largest schools are also the lowest performing, the area's overall student-level proficiency is weaker than a simple school average suggests.
