Summary:
ZIP code 55411 contains nine elementary schools serving roughly 2,443 students in grades PK–5 and K–8, mixing Minneapolis Public School District campuses with charter and online options.

Only one school ranks above the bottom tenth of Minnesota schools.
SET Academy Elementary is the clear academic standout in math, at 52.8% — the only school here above the state math average and the only one with 2 stars (546/869). That strength is narrow, though: its reading is 34.3% and its science is 0%, below state averages, and it slipped from 3 stars the prior two years. Hall Academy Elementary has the highest reported science score at 12.0%, still well under the state's 25.5%. Wakanda Virtual Academy Lower posts the second-highest reading at 30.6%, with 8th-grade reading at 43.8%, but its math is 10.0%. No school in the ZIP exceeds the state reading or science averages.
At the other end, Nellie Stone Johnson Elementary (3.6% math, 8.7% reading) ranks 865/869, followed by Bethune Elementary (6.0% math) and Hmong International Elementary. Best Academy, the largest school at 508 students, has 22.0% reading but 9.3% math. Scores for Online SET Academy are suppressed by the state, so its performance is unknown; MPS Online K-5 reports 0% math and 21.4% reading with other values suppressed. Class sizes and poverty rates vary widely and do not track performance here.
