Summary:

ZIP code 55426 is home to 6 schools serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade — three elementary schools (K–5), one middle school (6–8), one senior high (9–12), and one special education program (7–12) — all within the St. Louis Park Public School District, which ranks 143rd of 458 Minnesota districts (69th percentile, 3 stars). Combined enrollment across the list is 3,843 students, with most concentrated at St. Louis Park Senior High (1,397) and St. Louis Park Middle School (965).

Park Spanish Immersion Elementary is the clear academic standout in this area. It holds 5 stars and ranks at the 91st percentile in 2025-2026, with proficiency of 75.8% in Math, 67.5% in Reading, and 31.6% in Science — far above the district (47.8% Math, 50.3% Reading, 23.7% Science) and the state (44.9% Math, 48.6% Reading, 25.5% Science). It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate in the group at 10.69%. The other two elementaries, Aquila Elementary and Peter Hobart Elementary, are remarkably similar to each other: both sit near the 51st–52nd percentile with 3 stars, Math around 52%, Reading around 48%, and Science below the state average.

The middle and high schools show opposite trends. The middle school has improved from the 57th to the 68th percentile over three years, though its Math (39.4%) and Science (20.7%) remain below district and state. The senior high has strong completion numbers — an 89.7% graduation rate versus the state's 84.9%, and a 2.6% dropout rate versus 4.2% — but its rank fell from the 83rd to the 53rd percentile, and Reading dropped from 56.46% to 38.5%. Special Education enrolls only 15 students and has no test or rank data listed, so it cannot be compared academically here. Science is the weakest subject across most schools.
