Summary:

ZIP code 55117 contains four middle schools serving grades 5 through 8, with 1,822 students enrolled across three districts — Roseville Public School District, Saint Paul Public Schools, and Prodeo Academy. Roseville Area Middle (853 students) and Washington Technology Middle School (693) together account for about 85% of that enrollment, while Saint Paul Online Middle School (145) and Prodeo Academy St. Paul Middle (131) are much smaller. Across the four schools, average proficiency is below Minnesota state levels in Math (26.0% vs. 44.9%), Reading (29.4% vs. 48.6%), and Science (7.8% vs. 25.5%).

The standout is Prodeo Academy St. Paul Middle, which posts the ZIP's highest all-grade Math proficiency at 51.5% — above the state's 44.9% and the only school here to clear that bar. Its grade-level Math results are striking: 64.4% in 7th grade, 60.5% in 8th grade, and 48.7% in 5th grade. It also holds a 3-star rank at the 59th percentile, far ahead of its own district's 24th percentile, and has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the group at 10.0 despite the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (96.18%). Roseville Area Middle is the strongest traditional public option in Reading (42.6%) and Science (12.1%), and its rank has climbed from 2 stars and the 38th percentile in 2023–24 to 3 stars and the 53rd percentile in 2025–26, though it remains below its district and the state in all three subjects.

Washington Technology and Saint Paul Online are both at the 8th percentile with 0 stars in 2025–26. Washington has the lowest Reading score in the ZIP (16.8%), while Saint Paul Online has the lowest Math (7.5%) and Science (3.6%) and the highest student-teacher ratio (18.1). Science is a shared weakness: no school here reaches even half the state's 25.5%. Grade-level swings also matter — Roseville's 7th grade Math (40.9%) is above the state, but its 8th grade Math (30.4%) falls well short. Enrollment size alone does not predict performance: the largest school sits mid-pack locally, while the smallest split into the top Math performer and the bottom Math and Science performer.
