Summary:
ZIP code 55128 covers Oakdale, Minnesota, and contains exactly one middle school: Skyview Middle School, which serves grades 6–8 with 1,029 students as part of the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district. That works out to roughly 340 students per grade, and 62.39% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.1. Because it is the only middle school in the ZIP, the useful comparisons are Skyview against its own district, against Minnesota, and against its own three-year history.
Skyview outperforms its district in the state rankings. The school ranks 330th of 546 Minnesota schools (40th percentile, 2 stars), while the district ranks 341st of 458 (26th percentile, 1 star) — a full star and 14 percentile points higher. Skyview has also improved: its percentile climbed from 27 (1 star) in 2023-24 to 40 (2 stars) in each of the last two years. On 2025-26 tests, Reading proficiency was 39.2% (district 35.3%, state 48.6%), Math 29.6% (district 29.5%, state 44.9%), and Science 12.3% (district 16.8%, state 25.5%).
Reading is Skyview's clearest strength: it rose 2.54 points year over year while both the district and the state declined, and it is the subject where the school comes closest to the state rate. Math is the emerging concern, falling 5.58 points — about double the district's decline — leaving its edge over the district at just +0.1. Science is the lowest score in absolute terms, though it improved 1.84 points, outpacing both benchmarks; at the 8th-grade level it is 12.3% versus the district's 9.2%. Grade-level results show 8th grade as the Math standout (+8.2 over the district) and 7th grade as the weakest cohort in both Math (26.4%) and Reading (32.8%).
