Best Public Schools in Zip Code 55767

ZIP code 55767 covers Moose Lake, a small community in northeastern Minnesota served by two public schools — Moose Lake Elementary (PK–6, 285 students) and Moose Lake Secondary (7–12, 276 students) — both part of the Moose Lake Public School District and both housed on one campus at 4812 County Rd 10. Together they enroll 561 students, and because Secondary takes in grades 7 and 8, there is no separate middle school. The district ranks 265 of 458 in the state (42nd percentile, 2 stars), but that single figure hides a wide gap between the two buildings.

Moose Lake Secondary is the stronger of the two, ranked 185 of 473 (61st percentile, 3 stars). Its graduation rate of 89.8% beats the state's 84.9%, 10th grade reading proficiency (52.6%) is more than 10 points above the statewide 42.5%, and 11th grade math (34.1%) is essentially at the state line (35.3%). Moose Lake Elementary, by contrast, ranks 642 of 869 (26th percentile, 1 star) and has fallen three years running (50th → 42nd → 26th percentile). All nine of its reported 2025‑26 subject and grade figures sit below the state average, and its science proficiency of 2.3% against a 25.5% state figure is the most extreme number in the data set.

Some findings apply across the campus. Science is weak in both buildings: Secondary's 13.5% and Elementary's 2.3% both trail the state's 25.5%. The schools swapped places in reading, with Secondary rising to 44.7% while Elementary fell 12.8 points to 36.6%. Secondary's 6.1% dropout rate is above the state's 4.2% even as its graduation rate is above the state's, and Elementary reports more students from low-income families (39.3% free/reduced lunch) than Secondary (28.62%). Because each grade holds only about 40–46 students, a single student can move a figure by 2–3 points, so year-to-year swings are best read as directional trends rather than precise measures.
