Summary:
ZIP code 55416 contains two elementary-level schools — Susan Lindgren Elementary (K–5, 457 students) and St. Louis Park Special Education Program (PK–6, 135 students) — both part of the St. Louis Park Public School District, which is ranked 143 of 458 Minnesota districts (69th percentile, 3 stars). Together they enroll 592 students, and there are no middle, high, or alternative schools listed within this ZIP code.
Susan Lindgren is the academic standout with published test data. In 2025–2026, its all-grade Math proficiency was 53.1%, beating the district's 47.8% and the state's 44.9%, while Reading was 54.8% versus 50.3% district and 48.6% state. Science was a mixed picture: 25.4%, slightly above the district's 23.7% but marginally below the state's 25.5%, after a stronger 36.71% in 2024–2025. Grade-level results vary — 4th-grade Math reached 62.0%, but 5th-grade Math lagged at 36.1%, below both district and state. Reading was steadier, ranging from 47.8% in 3rd grade to 58.3% in 5th. Over three years, the school rose from the 60th to the 63rd percentile.
The Special Education Program serves a different population with a higher free/reduced-lunch rate (47.41% vs. 38.95%) and a similar student/teacher ratio (13.2 vs. 13.5). Its school-level test scores are suppressed by the state, so its academic performance cannot be judged from this data — a suppressed figure is unknown, not zero and not evidence of weakness. Families comparing the two should note that only Susan Lindgren has published proficiency results, while the Special Education Program's profile is best understood through its grade span, enrollment, and population served.
