Summary:
ZIP code 55411 in Minneapolis contains 23 schools serving about 5,422 students, spanning elementary, middle, high school, online, and alternative/credit-recovery programs run by Minneapolis Public School District, Metro Schools Charter, Harvest Best Academy, Minnesota Internship Center, Minnesota Transitions Charter School, and Exploration High School. It is one of the highest-poverty areas in the state: free/reduced lunch averages about 86.5%, with 12 schools at 90% or higher. The largest schools are North High (591), Metro College Prep (585), Best Academy (508), and SET Academy Elementary (463).
Comparing schools, Metro College Prep ranks highest in the ZIP at the 51st percentile with 3 stars, with 11th-grade math at 58.5% and an 80.3% graduation rate. SET Academy Elementary is the math standout (52.8% all grades), and Metro 2 Online reports 54.5% math — both above the state's 44.9%. Exploration High School has the top graduation rate at 85.7%, and North High graduates 81.4%, above its district's 72.7%. Reading bright spots include Banaadir Academy (37.8%) and Wakanda Virtual Academy Lower (30.6%).
Area-wide, proficiency trails the state badly: math averages about 19% and reading about 20% versus state rates of 44.9% and 48.6%, and science is weakest at about 6% against 25.5%. No reported school met state reading or science rates. Rankings cluster low — Nellie Stone Johnson Elementary, Bethune Elementary, Hmong International Elementary, and Hall Academy Elementary sit in the bottom few percentiles. Alternative and online programs such as MNIC Online Program, Unity Campus, and Plymouth Youth Center show low graduation and high dropout rates, but these serve small, transient populations, so treat their rates cautiously — a dash means the state suppressed the value, not zero.
