Summary:

ZIP code 55376 is home to three elementary schools — Big Woods Elementary, St. Michael Elementary, and Fieldstone Elementary School — all part of the St. Michael-Albertville Schools district. All three serve grades 1–4 and together enroll 1,895 students in 2025–26. The district itself is rated 5 stars and ranks 28 out of 458 in Minnesota (94th percentile).

St. Michael Elementary is the current leader: it ranks 101 out of 869 (88th percentile), has the highest all-grades Math (71.9%) and Reading (64.7%), and gained 7.47 points in Reading while district and state Reading both slipped slightly. Fieldstone was the top performer the year before (rank 108 of 872, Math 72.13%) but fell to 169 of 869, with Math dropping to 65.6%, the lowest of the three; it has the smallest enrollment (585) and the lowest student/teacher ratio (15.5). Big Woods has the largest enrollment (656), the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (17.99%), and the highest student/teacher ratio (16.9). It was top-ranked in 2023–24 (95 of 881) but has declined to 167 of 869, though its 4th-grade scores remain above district.

All three schools beat the state in both subjects in 2025–26 — Math by 20.7 to 27.0 points and Reading by 11.7 to 16.1 points. Math generally outpaces Reading, with the widest gap in 3rd grade; 3rd-grade Reading is the weakest area, though Big Woods' 55.2% still tops the state's 46.8%. St. Michael is the only school above district in every grade-level measure. Free/reduced lunch rates and student/teacher ratios do not track simply with results in this small set. Note that the 2024–25 Reading exam was labeled MCA-III and the 2025–26 exam MCA-IV, so reading comparisons across years may not be perfectly equivalent.
