Summary:
ZIP code 55391 contains one high school, Wayzata Transition School, a grade-12-only public school in Plymouth within the Wayzata Public School District. Since it is the only high school in this ZIP, there are no other local high schools to compare it against directly, making it the area’s sole high school option.
This school is a specialized, very small program with 37 students. It belongs to a highly ranked district—10th of 458 Minnesota districts, at the 98th percentile with 5 stars—but that rating applies to the district, not specifically to this school. The student-teacher ratio is 7.4, which suggests substantial staffing and individualized support. At the same time, 51.35% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, just over half. With only 37 students, the program is much smaller than a typical comprehensive high school, which may affect course variety, peer cohort size, and extracurricular offerings.
No school-level test scores are provided for this school, so proficiency and growth cannot be judged from this data. Because enrollment is only 37, one student equals about 2.70% of the student body, and small changes can shift percentages noticeably—the free/reduced-lunch majority, for example, hinges on a single student. Parents should view this as a targeted transition program whose success may be better reflected in graduation completion, postsecondary enrollment, employment, or independent-living skills than in conventional school-wide test metrics. The district context is strong, but it should not be taken as proof that this specific school performs at the same level.
