Summary:
Zip code 55433 contains seven elementary schools enrolling about 2,428 students in grades K–5, PK–5, and K–8. Five are part of Anoka-Hennepin School District — Morris Bye Elementary, Hoover Elementary BioMed Sci Egng, Adams Elementary, Mississippi Elementary, and Hamilton Elementary — enrolling roughly 2,225 students, or about 92% of the total. The two charters, Star of the North - Coon Rapids (K–8) and Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary (PK–5), enroll 203 students combined, with school sizes ranging from 83 to 472. Anoka-Hennepin ranks 184 of 458 districts statewide; the charter districts, Star of the North Academy Charter S and Innovation Sci & Technical Academy, rank lower.
Mississippi Elementary is the academic standout, with math at 61.3% and science at 28.8% — both above state averages — and the group's best rank at the 65th percentile (3 stars). Hoover Elementary BioMed Sci Egng also performs well in math (55.5%) and science (26.9%), but its percentile slipped from 71st to 56th over three years. Hamilton Elementary has the strongest reading (52.2%), including 72.9% in 5th-grade reading, though math is 42.0%. Adams Elementary scores lowest across all subjects (math 32.4%, reading 31.5%, science 11.1%) with 1 star, and Morris Bye Elementary posts an unusually low 6.3% in science against a state average of 25.5%.
Both charters serve far higher-poverty populations. Star of the North - Coon Rapids reports 99.17% free/reduced lunch and a student/teacher ratio of 57.1 — far above the 11.1 to 13.9 range of the others — with below-state scores and 1 star. Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary, at 95.18% free/reduced lunch, has improved from the 12th to the 31st percentile, and its math score (42.4%) is near the state's 44.9%; its science score is suppressed by the state. Poverty does not fully predict results: Morris Bye Elementary has the lowest poverty rate (50.21%) but weak proficiency, while Hamilton Elementary has the district's highest (65.22%) and its best reading. Science is the weakest subject overall — only Mississippi Elementary and Hoover Elementary BioMed Sci Egng exceed the state — and every school falls below the state's 48.8% in 4th-grade reading.
