Summary:

Zip code 55792 contains 8 schools serving 1,963 students across two districts — Rock Ridge Public Schools (4 schools, 1,800 students) and Northland Learning Center (4 schools, 163 students) — with students in grades PK through 12 and no standalone middle school. The area summary lists 2 elementary schools, 5 high schools, and 1 alternative school; middle-level grades are served by North Star Elementary (3–6) and Rock Ridge High School (7–12), while Parkview Elementary covers PK–2.

North Star Elementary is the strongest comprehensive test performer, with 2025–26 all-grade proficiency of 47.4 in math, 60.3 in reading, and 35.4 in science — above both district and state in all three subjects. Its 5th grade reading score of 67.9 is the highest single grade-level figure in the dataset, and the school's rank rose to 68th percentile with 3 stars. Rock Ridge High School is by far the largest school at 1,048 students, more than the other seven combined. Its graduation rate of 92.1% and dropout rate of 1.9% beat district and state, and its rank climbed to 71st percentile with 4 stars, but all-grade math (36.7) and reading (41.3) trail district and state — partly because its averages include grades 7 and 8, where math and science scores lag. Notably, 11th grade math is 51, above district and state.

The alternative and specialized programs differ sharply from one another. NLC 6076 Special Education Program has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (73.44%) and lowest student-teacher ratio (6.4), with reported proficiency of 0 in math, 16 in reading, and 0 in science. NLC 6076 Alternative Learning Center Program graduates 76.6% — above its district's 66.0% — but below the state's 84.9%. Int'l Falls Independent School District (Isd) 361 Alternative Learning Center P has the lowest reported free/reduced lunch rate (11.54%) but the weakest completion figures with reported current rates (60.0% graduation, 13.3% dropout). For Rock Ridge High School ALP and NLC 6076 Transition Program, test data is suppressed or absent and should be treated as unknown, not as poor performance.
