Summary:
ZIP code 55304 in the Andover area is home to 7 schools serving K–12 students — five elementaries (including one K–8 charter), one middle school, and one high school — with a combined enrollment of 7,081 students, six of them in Anoka-Hennepin School District and one, Davinci Academy, operating as its own charter district.
The ZIP is academically strong overall: enrollment-weighted averages beat both the district and Minnesota state in math (60.9% vs 51.0% and 44.9%), reading (58.7% vs 50.9% and 48.6%), and science (35.3% vs 27.1% and 25.5%). The standouts are Andover Elementary, with the ZIP's highest math proficiency at 81.5%, and McKinley Elementary, whose 52.7% science rate is more than double the state figure. Both hold 5 stars at the 93rd–95th percentile. Oak View Middle is also 5 stars (95th percentile) and has held that level for two years, while Andover High School posts excellent graduation (95.1%) and dropout (1.6%) rates despite below-state math of 40.4%.
The main concern is Crooked Lake Elementary, whose rank percentile fell from 88th to 61st over two years, with reading at 46.0% — the only reading score in the ZIP below district and state — and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 32.88%. Rum River Elementary remains strong (87th percentile, 4 stars) but has slipped from 97th, and Davinci Academy dropped from 72nd to 59th percentile with uneven grade-level results. Keep in mind that elementary, middle, and high school exams differ, so cross-level comparisons are imperfect.
