Summary:
ZIP code 55128 covers Oakdale, Minnesota, where four public schools serve roughly 4,138 students across the full PK–12 span — Tartan Senior High (grades 9–12, 1,687 students), Skyview Middle School (6–8, 1,029), Eagle Point Elementary (PK–5, 792) and Castle Elementary (PK–5, 630), all within the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district. The district as a whole is rated 1 star, in the 26th percentile of 458 Minnesota districts, but that average hides a very wide spread between its individual schools.
Eagle Point Elementary is the clear standout: 4 stars, 82nd percentile of 869 elementary schools, and the only school in the ZIP above the state in all three subjects — math 66.2% vs. 44.9%, reading 58.1% vs. 48.6%, and science 41.6% vs. 25.5%. It has also improved steadily, moving 68th → 73rd → 82nd percentile, and it posts those results with a majority low-income enrollment (53.03% free/reduced lunch), the lowest of the four schools. Tartan Senior High is the second bright spot for a different reason: its graduation rate of 89.5% beats both the district (86.3%) and the state (84.9%), and its 3.9% dropout rate is below the state's 4.2%, even though its test scores are low (math 19.2%, reading 36.9%, science 21.5%).
The other two schools lag. Skyview Middle School is 2 stars, 40th percentile, roughly district-average in math (29.6%) and reading (39.2%) but very weak in science at 12.3%. Castle Elementary ranks lowest at 26th percentile, 1 star, with math 35.1%, reading 35.4% and science 20.2%, and the highest free/reduced-lunch rate at 64.76%. Across the ZIP, math proficiency ranges from 19.2% to 66.2%, reading from 35.4% to 58.1%, and science from 12.3% to 41.6% — science is a shared weakness everywhere except Eagle Point. Trends are mixed: Eagle Point is rising, Skyview improved from 1 to 2 stars, Tartan is volatile (51st → 28th → 35th percentile), and Castle slipped from 2 stars to 1.
