Summary:

ZIP code 55322 is home to two elementary schools serving grades K–8 — Cologne Academy and Cologne Academy Online — both part of the Cologne Academy district, which ranks #1 of 458 in Minnesota at the 100th percentile with 5 stars. Combined enrollment is 701 students, with 679 at the brick-and-mortar school and just 22 online. Some data is suppressed by the state as “—” to protect student privacy; those values are unknown, not zero.

Cologne Academy is the clear standout and anchors the area. It has ranked in the top 1% of Minnesota schools for three straight years: 23 of 881 in 2023–2024, 8 of 872 in 2024–2025, and 7 of 869 in 2025–2026, earning 5 stars each year. In 2025–2026, its all-grade proficiency was 84.7% in Math, 79.0% in Reading, and 59.0% in Science, versus state rates of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Every reported grade-level score beat the state. Science rose sharply from 41.54% to 59.0% year over year, while Math edged up and Reading dipped slightly. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch rate was 13.11%, with an 11.2 student-teacher ratio.

Cologne Academy Online looks very different. With 22 students, a 50% free/reduced lunch rate, and a 3.7 student-teacher ratio, it is small and data-limited. Its 2025–2026 all-grade scores were 46.7% in Math, barely above the state, and 60.0% in Reading, above the state but below the district; Science was suppressed. In 2024–2025, Reading was 80.0%, close to the brick-and-mortar school’s 82.3%, but 2025–2026 Reading fell to 60%. With so few students, one student equals roughly 4.5 percentage points, so swings are volatile, and suppressed Science and grade-level scores leave much unknown.
