Schools in Zip Code 55117

ZIP code 55117, covering the St. Paul and Roseville area, has 27 schools — 14 elementary, 4 middle, 8 high, and 1 alternative — serving 9,295 students across Saint Paul Public Schools, Roseville Public School District, and several charter networks (Prodeo Academy, Minnesota Math and Science Academy, AFSA High School, and Northeast Metro 916).

The clearest academic standout is Prodeo Academy St. Paul Middle, with the ZIP's highest math proficiency at 51.5% — above the state's 44.9% — despite 96.18% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Prodeo Academy St. Paul Elementary is close behind in math at 48.9%. These are the only two schools here beating the statewide math rate. Roseville Area Middle has the highest reading score (42.6%) and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (49.47%), while Washington Technology Senior High leads in science (37.6%) and posts a strong 85.3% graduation rate. Only these two middle schools earned 3 stars.

Broadly, achievement lags state averages: no school in this ZIP exceeded the state reading rate of 48.6%, and only Washington Technology Senior High topped the state science rate of 25.5%. Reported averages sit near 20% math, 26% reading, and 11% science, with free/reduced lunch averaging about 78.6%. Notably, high graduation does not always track with test scores — MMSA Secondary School has the ZIP's best graduation rate (88.2%) and lowest dropout (2.9%) but low proficiency, while East View Academy graduates 17.6% and has state-suppressed test scores, which are unknown rather than failing. Small schools such as Quora Secondary School (2.4 student-teacher ratio) warrant caution in comparisons.
