Summary:
ZIP code 55302 is home to four schools serving grades PK through 12 — one elementary, one middle, and two high schools — with 2,014 students enrolled in total. Three of them, Annandale Elementary School, Annandale Middle School, and Annandale Senior High, belong to the Annandale Public School District, which is rated 42nd of 458 Minnesota districts (91st percentile, 5 stars) and accounts for 2,006 of those students. The fourth, Sholund School for Girls, is an 8-student special education setting in the Meeker and Wright Special Education district.
Annandale Senior High is the standout in this ZIP: 5 stars, 91st percentile, with science proficiency of 46.7% against 25.5% statewide and a 92.5% graduation rate against 84.9% statewide. Annandale Middle School is also strong — 4 stars, 84th percentile — with reading at 58.3%, 8th-grade math at 63.1% versus 42.3% statewide, and 8th-grade reading at 67.7% versus 50.0%. Annandale Elementary School is the largest school at 929 students and ranks 3 stars; its 59.9% math proficiency sits 15 points above the state's 44.9%, and 4th-grade math reaches 67.9% versus 55.2% statewide.
A few cautions are worth noting. All three Annandale schools posted lower math and science results in 2025–2026 than the year before, and the high school's reading fell from 74.83% to 57.0%, though that remains above the state's 48.6%. The high school's dropout rate, 5.4%, is above the state's 4.2%. Free/reduced lunch rates are highest at Annandale Middle (28.97%) and Annandale Elementary (27.45%), and lowest at the high school (21.93%); student-teacher ratios are similar, ranging from 17.2 to 19.0. Sholund School for Girls should not be compared directly with the others — with 8 students, percentages swing widely, many values are suppressed, and its suppressed science result means unknown, not zero.
