Summary:

ZIP code 55330 contains five high schools — all located in or around Elk River, Minnesota, and serving grades 9 through 12, with one serving grade 12 only — enrolling 2,261 students in total. Enrollment is heavily concentrated: Elk River Senior High (1,562 students) and Spectrum High School (502) together account for 91.3% of the ZIP's high school students, while Ivan Sand Community High School, Online728 High School, and C.O.M.P.A.S.S. together enroll just 197. Four of the five schools belong to the Elk River Public School District, rated 5 stars and 92nd of 458 Minnesota districts; Spectrum operates under its own Spectrum High School district, rated 4 stars and 59th of 458.

Spectrum High School stands out for completion and reading: its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 95.5% and its dropout rate 1.1%, both far better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%, and it has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate here at 14.74%. Its reading proficiency was 55.5% in 2025–2026 and 66.37% in 2024–2025, above state. Elk River Senior High is the largest school, and science is its standout subject: 39.7% proficient in 2025–2026 and 41.93% in 2024–2025, well above the state's 25.5% and 26.15%. Both large schools were above state in math in 2024–2025 but below state in 2025–2026, making math a shared pressure point.

The three smaller schools have very different known outcomes. Ivan Sand Community High School shows the starkest challenges: a 51.14% free/reduced-lunch rate, a 23.8% graduation rate, and a 21.4% dropout rate — far from the Elk River Public School District's 89.0% graduation rate and the state's 84.9%. Online728 High School's 84.0% graduation rate is close to the state's 84.9%, but its 8.0% dropout rate is about double the state's 4.2%. C.O.M.P.A.S.S. enrolls just 28 students in grade 12 only and has no graduation, dropout, or test data listed, so it cannot be compared. For 2025–2026, test scores are public only for Elk River Senior and Spectrum; Ivan Sand, Online728, and C.O.M.P.A.S.S. have suppressed or missing values, which mean unknown — not zero — and should not be read as evidence of weakness.
