Summary:
ZIP code 55126 contains 10 public schools — six elementary, one middle, and three high school programs — serving about 4,043 students across four districts, ranging from large comprehensive campuses to very small specialized programs. Mounds View Public School District accounts for six schools and roughly 79% of enrollment, followed by Roseville Public School District, Lionsgate Academy, and Oak Hill Montessori Community. Among the six schools with reported 2025–2026 results, reading is the standout subject: all six exceed the state average, and five of six top the state in both math and science.
Three schools anchor the area's strongest results. Chippewa Middle School is the top-ranked middle school in the ZIP (97th percentile, 5 stars) and clears district and state averages in math, reading, and science. Turtle Lake Elementary posts the highest math (74.7) and science (47.7) scores of any reporting school and has climbed steadily in rank. Island Lake Elementary has also improved and beats district and state averages in all three subjects. Oak Hill Montessori Community has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (10.24%) and the lowest student/teacher ratio among comprehensive schools, with strong reading and science but more uneven math. Williams Elementary outperforms its own district in every subject despite the highest poverty rate among comprehensive schools (37.47%), though its science fell from 38.6 to 24.3.
Some data is limited. Snail Lake Kindergarten Center serves only PK–K, and Lionsgate Academy - Lynx Program, REACH Academy, and Mounds View Bridges Program have test results suppressed by the state — unknown, not zero. Together these four enroll about 410 students (10%). Lionsgate Academy - Shoreview shows a 32.2% graduation rate versus the state's 84.9%, but a 0.0% dropout rate, suggesting a specialized population that should not be judged on that figure alone.
