Summary:
Zip code 55122 contains seven schools serving about 3,289 students: four elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools that operate as alternative or learning-center settings. Enrollment splits between two districts. Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (ISD 196) enrolls about 82.3% of students across five schools and ranks 85 of 458 (81st percentile, 4 stars). Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Schools (ISD 191) enrolls about 17.7% across two schools and ranks 344 of 458 (25th percentile, 1 star).
Thomas Lake Elementary is the clear standout: 73 of 869 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), with math 68.1%, reading 68.4%, and science 46.4% — above its district and state in all three subjects, plus the lowest free/reduced lunch rate in the zip at 21.39%. Black Hawk Middle, the only middle school, is improving (rank 127 → 112 → 89), with math 48.0% and reading 54.5% above state, though science at 23.5% trails both district and state. Deerwood Elementary (3 stars, 69th percentile) is solid across subjects. Rahn Elementary beats its lower-ranked district in all subjects but still trails state, especially science at 14.0%. Oak Ridge Leadershipenviron/Health, though in the stronger district, scores below district and state in every subject (2 stars).
The two high school settings show the challenges typical of alternative programs. Burnsville Alternative High School reports 0.0% math, with reading and science suppressed by the state, and a 63.9% graduation rate. Rosemount Area Learning Center posts 4.8% math, 40.0% reading, 4.8% science, and a 48.8% graduation rate. Across the zip, reading is consistently strongest, math next, and science weakest. Free/reduced lunch rates range from 21.39% to 69.7% and track outcomes loosely, but not perfectly: Rahn, at 58.49%, still outperforms its district, while Oak Ridge, at 46.48%, does not.
