Best High Schools in Zip Code 55425

ZIP code 55425 in Bloomington, Minnesota contains exactly one high school: BlueSky Charter School, a grades 6–12 charter school with 634 students that also operates as its own district, BlueSky Charter School, MN. The school reports a 13.7-to-1 student–teacher ratio and a 47% free/reduced lunch rate. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no other area schools to compare it with, so the most useful benchmarks are Minnesota state averages.

The clearest bright spots are in reading and in the school's ranking trend. Sixth grade reading proficiency is 61.9%, above the state's 53.4%, and 10th grade reading is 40.7%, close to the state's 42.5%. BlueSky has also climbed in state school rankings, moving from the 22nd percentile with 1 star in 2023–2024 to the 37th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026 — a 15-point percentile gain, though still below the state median.

Math is the largest concern. All Grades math proficiency is 17.1% versus 44.9% statewide, and every tested math grade falls roughly 20–26 percentage points below the state, with 11th grade math lowest at 13.3%. Reading overall is 40.1% (state: 48.6%) and science is 17.6% (state: 25.5%), with 7th grade reading at 21.2% against 43.5% statewide. Graduation and dropout figures reinforce these gaps: a 66.6% graduation rate compared with 84.9% statewide, and a 6.3% dropout rate compared with 4.2%. One positive note within science is that End-of-Course science (23.4%) outperforms 8th grade science (10.5%).
