Summary:
ZIP code 55129 in Woodbury, Minnesota contains four schools — three elementary schools and one high school, with no middle or alternative schools — serving 4,172 students across two districts. South Washington County Schools operates East Ridge High School, Liberty Ridge Elementary, and Gordon Bailey Elementary, while Brookview Elementary belongs to Stillwater Area Public Schools. Enrollment tilts heavily toward secondary school: East Ridge alone enrolls 2,072 students, nearly matching the combined 2,100 students across the three elementary schools, which are led by Liberty Ridge (801), Gordon Bailey (692), and Brookview (607).
Liberty Ridge Elementary is the clear academic anchor of the area, the only school holding 5 stars in all three years of rank history and landing at 94th percentile in 2025–2026. Its all-grade proficiency of 77.2% in Math and 73.5% in Reading far outpaces both district and state, and it has the lowest elementary student-teacher ratio (15.0) and lowest elementary free/reduced lunch rate (16.48%). East Ridge High School posts strong outcomes — a 94.5% graduation rate and 0.5% dropout rate, both well above state figures — though its rank slipped from 5 stars to 4 stars in 2025–2026, and its Math proficiency of 47% trails the district average.
Gordon Bailey Elementary is stable but middling, holding 3 stars and ranking between the 54th and 59th percentile across three years, while Brookview Elementary fell from the 80th percentile to the 58th percentile, dropping to 3 stars despite sitting in the higher-ranked district. Science is the shared weak spot: Gordon Bailey (18%) and Brookview (23.3%) both fell below the state average of 25.5%, and their 5th-grade math and science results are pressure points. Notably, district reputation does not guarantee school-level performance here — the area's strongest schools sit in the mid-ranked district.
