Summary:
ZIP code 55331 contains exactly one high school — Shorewood Education Center, a grade-12-only school with 35 students located in Shorewood, Minnesota, and part of the Minnetonka Public School District. Because this is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no local peer schools to compare it against, so the most useful context comes from the district and the school's own profile.
Detailed information on the school: it serves grade 12 only, rather than the traditional 9–12 span, and enrolls just 35 students, making it very small by high school standards. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio is 6.8 students per instructional FTE, which is notably low and suggests the potential for individualized attention. About 45.71% of students were coded for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, meaning nearly half the student body is economically disadvantaged by that proxy. The school's parent district, Minnetonka Public School District, is highly rated at the state level — ranked 9th of 458 Minnesota districts, at the 98th percentile, with 5 stars.
What parents should keep in mind: the strong district rating is district-level context and does not by itself describe how this particular school or its students are performing. This list includes no test scores, graduation rates, or other academic outcome data for the school, so academic performance cannot be assessed from these figures. The grade-12-only span also suggests this may be a specialized senior-year, alternative, credit-recovery, or transition-focused program rather than a conventional comprehensive high school, and comparing it directly to a typical 9–12 school would be misleading. Its standout measurable features are the very low student-teacher ratio and the substantial share of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, both of which should be read alongside additional information before drawing conclusions.
