Summary:
ZIP code 55303 is home to 13 schools — five elementary schools, seven high schools that also serve some middle grades, and one alternative school, with no standalone middle school — enrolling roughly 7,188 students across three districts: Anoka-Hennepin School District (10 schools), Pact Charter School (2), and St. Francis Area Schools (1). The largest school is Anoka High School with 2,348 students; the smallest is Crossroads School with 16. Test scores and rankings reflect 2025-2026, while graduation, dropout, free/reduced lunch, and student-teacher ratio figures come from 2024-2025.
Brookside Elementary is the clear academic standout: ranked 80th of 869 elementary schools (91st percentile, 5 stars), with math at 71.3%, reading at 65.8%, and science at 42.5% — all well above state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Among secondary schools, Pact Charter Secondary leads, ranking 88th of 473 high schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), with reading at 53.9%, an 85.0% graduation rate, and a 1.6% dropout rate. Anoka High School shows a split picture: a 92.2% graduation rate, above the district's 88.7% and the state's 84.9%, but math proficiency of only 23.6%.
Results vary widely elsewhere. Ramsey Elementary, Wilson Elementary, Lincoln Elementary School for Arts, and PACT Charter Elementary all fall below state reading or science levels, with science a common weak spot. Sandburg Regional High School reports stark outcomes — 2.9% math, 3.8% reading, 59.1% graduation, and a 2nd-percentile rank. Anoka-Hennepin Technical High School, Secondary Technical Educational Prog S.T.E.P, Secondary Virtual School, Two Rivers Transition at Franklin, and Crossroads School serve specialized, technical, transition, or virtual populations; their very low or state-suppressed results are not directly comparable to comprehensive schools. Free/reduced lunch ranges from about 27% at Brookside and PACT Charter Elementary to over 80% at Crossroads.
