Summary:
ZIP code 55419 in south Minneapolis contains nine schools — six elementary, two middle, and one high school — serving 5,059 students, with seven operated by Minneapolis Public School District and two independent charters, Stonebridge World School and Southside Family Charter School.
The ZIP's strongest schools are clustered in the elementary and middle grades. Burroughs Elementary is the clear standout, ranking 6th of 869 elementary schools — the 99th percentile, 5 stars — with 85.7% math, 83.9% reading, and 64.8% science. Kenny Elementary (97th percentile, 5 stars) posts 84.9% math and 80.0% reading, and Field Elementary (96th percentile, 5 stars) combines 73.9% math, 71.9% reading, and 53.9% science. Among middle schools, Anthony Middle (95th percentile, 5 stars) leads with 60.5% math and 67.9% reading, while Justice Page Middle (91st percentile, 5 stars) is the most improved, climbing from 106th to 50th statewide between 2023-2024 and 2025-2026. Washburn High, the only high school and largest school in the ZIP at 1,521 students, has strong outcomes: an 89.7% graduation rate versus 72.7% district and 84.9% state, and a 3.5% dropout rate.
Windom Elementary (82nd percentile, 4 stars) is solid and beats state averages in all three subjects. By contrast, Stonebridge World School ranks in the 3rd percentile with 0 stars and reports 0% science, and Southside Family Charter School — the smallest school at 119 students, with the lowest student-teacher ratio at 8.2 — falls below state averages in math and reading, with its science result suppressed. Notably, a high free/reduced-lunch rate or a high student-teacher ratio does not automatically mean lower performance: Justice Page has the highest ratio in the ZIP at 21.8 yet ranks in the 91st percentile. Grade-level results also vary widely, so school-wide averages can hide important strengths and weaknesses.
