Summary:
ZIP code 55114 contains five high schools serving grades 7 through 12, all of them charter, alternative, or online programs, with a combined enrollment of 524 students. Minnesota Online High School (254 students) and Avalon School (182 students) are by far the largest, together accounting for 83.2% of enrollment, while Jennings Community School (57), Avalon Online School (18), and Jennings Online Program (13) are very small. Three districts operate here: Minnesota Online High School, Avalon School (which runs both Avalon schools), and Jennings Community School (which runs both Jennings schools).
Avalon School is the academic standout: it ranks 98 of 458 schools (79th percentile, 4 stars), and in 2025–26 its reading proficiency (71.4%) and science proficiency (35%) were well above the state's 48.6% and 25.5%. Math is its weak spot, at 22.9% versus the state's 44.9%. Even so, its graduation rate of 75.5% is below the state's 84.9%, and its dropout rate is 10.2% versus 4.2%. Minnesota Online High School has the lowest reported student-teacher ratio (9.7) but a 54.3% graduation rate and a 13.1% dropout rate. Jennings Community School has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (77.19%), a 38.1% graduation rate, and reports a 0.0% dropout rate — a figure best read cautiously given its very small cohort.
Economic disadvantage varies widely within this ZIP. Jennings Community School (77.19%), Jennings Online Program (76.92%), and Avalon Online School (66.67%) have far higher free/reduced-lunch rates than Avalon School (25.27%) and Minnesota Online High School (26.77%). Avalon Online School also reports a student-teacher ratio of 26.8, much higher than the others. All three schools with reported graduation rates fall below the state's 84.9%. Test scores are suppressed for most schools and online programs — that is a privacy protection, not evidence of poor performance — so a full comparison across all five is not possible.
