Schools in Zip Code 55405

ZIP code 55405 in Minneapolis contains six schools — three elementary (Ella Baker, Bryn Mawr, and Kenwood), one middle (Anwatin), one high school (Harrison Education Center), and one alternative K–12 school (River Bend Educational Center) — all part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 310 of 458 in Minnesota with 2 stars. Together they enroll 1,780 students, and with a weighted average free/reduced-lunch rate of roughly 76.2%, the area's schools serve a largely low-income population. Note that Ella Baker is listed as elementary but actually serves PK–8, so it includes middle grades as well.

Kenwood Elementary is the clear standout and the only school in the ZIP above both district and state averages in all three tested subjects. Its all-grade proficiency is 50.3% in math, 50.3% in reading, and 42.5% in science, and it ranks at the 59th percentile with 3 stars. It also improved sharply from the prior year, including a science gain of more than 23 points. Every other reporting school falls below district and state in all three 2025–2026 all-grade subjects, with Harrison's reading the closest at 23.1%.

At the other end, Ella Baker Elementary (2nd percentile, 0 stars) and Anwatin Middle (4th percentile, 0 stars) post very low proficiency, and middle-grade results are an area of clear concern. Bryn Mawr Elementary ranks in the 7th percentile and declined in all three subjects. Science is the weakest subject almost everywhere. River Bend Educational Center and Harrison Education Center are small alternative settings with many suppressed values and very low student-teacher ratios, so their results should be read as context rather than direct comparisons; Harrison's graduation rate is 50.0% against the district's 72.7% and the state's 84.9%, with a 0.0% dropout rate.
