Summary:

ZIP code 55316 covers Champlin, Minnesota, and includes five schools — three elementary, one middle, and one high school — serving about 7,060 students, with four in Anoka-Hennepin School District and one independent charter that forms its own district. The data includes 2025-2026 Math, Reading, and Science proficiency, prior-year comparisons, rank history, free/reduced lunch rates, student-teacher ratios, and graduation and dropout rates for the high school.

Oxbow Creek Elementary is the academic anchor, ranking in the 81st percentile with 4 stars and leading the ZIP in Math at 70.7% and Reading at 57.8%, well above district and state. Jackson Middle also earns 4 stars and the 80th percentile on strong Math (48.6%) and Reading (52.9%), but its Science is 16.2%, the lowest all-grade Science result in the ZIP and below district and state. Champlin/Brooklyn Pk Acd MathEnvSci posted the ZIP's highest Science at 34% despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 38.51%, and shares the lowest student-teacher ratio at 14.5.

Champlin Park High School is the largest school and a completion standout — a 94.7% graduation rate and 1.7% dropout rate, both better than district and state — yet its Math (32.3%) and Reading (41.7%) trail both benchmarks. Modern Montessori Charter School is the smallest and lowest-performing: 1 star, 17th percentile, and a steady decline from 26th and 20th in earlier years, with Math at 18.2% and an exact 0% in 6th-grade Math. Its 8th-grade scores are shown as — because the state suppressed them, meaning those values are unknown, not zero. Notably, Oxbow Creek and Modern Montessori have similar free/reduced lunch rates (26.84% and 25.98%) but very different Math results, and Science is the weakest subject across several schools — only Champlin/Brooklyn and Oxbow Creek exceed district and state Science marks.
