ZIP code 55441 contains nine schools serving students from elementary through high school — two elementary schools (Sunset Hill Elementary and FAIR School Pilgrim Lane), two middle schools (Wayzata East Middle and Plymouth Middle), two high schools (Robbinsdale Armstrong Senior High and School #535), and three alternative schools (Tier One, Tier Two, and Tier Three), with roughly 5,056 students enrolled in total. The area's schools are split across two main districts plus a special-education cooperative: Wayzata Public School District ranks 10 of 458 statewide with 5 stars, while Robbinsdale Public School District ranks 335 of 458 with 1 star. Intermediate School District 287 is not ranked.

Wayzata East Middle is the academic standout of the ZIP code, ranking 14 of 546 middle schools statewide (97th percentile, 5 stars) with proficiency of 64.4% in math, 71.4% in reading, and 44.9% in science, all far above the state's 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Sunset Hill Elementary is similarly strong at 70.4% math, 61.0% reading, and 40.4% science, ranking 120 of 869 elementary schools (86th percentile, 4 stars). Notably, FAIR School Pilgrim Lane outperforms its own lower-ranked district in math and reading (54.5% and 59.6%), ranking 61st percentile with 3 stars, though its science fell sharply from 36.23% to 15.8%.

At the high school level, Robbinsdale Armstrong Senior High posts a graduation rate of 89.8% and a dropout rate of 2.3%, both better than district and state, even though its math and reading proficiency sit below state averages. Plymouth Middle struggles most among the larger schools, with science proficiency of just 7.1%. The alternative schools have very small classes (ratios of 3.3 to 4.5), high free/reduced lunch rates, and many suppressed test scores, so they aren't directly comparable to the comprehensive schools; School #535 and Tier One are especially small, and scores the state suppresses remain unknown.
