Summary:
ZIP code 56080 covers St. Clair, Minnesota, a small community served by two public schools in the St. Clair Public School District: St. Clair Elementary (PK–6, 411 students) and St. Clair Secondary (7–12, 409 students). The two schools are nearly equal in size, and the district ranks 151 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 67th percentile with 3 stars.
Academically, the two schools look quite different. St. Clair Elementary is the stronger performer: in 2025–2026, 58.1% of students were proficient in Math and 62.9% in Reading, both well above district (46.0 and 56.5) and state (44.9 and 48.6) levels, with standout results in 3rd and 4th grade Math and Reading. St. Clair Secondary trails in Math (30.7 vs. state 44.9) and Science (17.1 vs. state 25.5), and its Reading (48.7) is only 0.1 point above the state and below the district. Science is the shared weakness — Elementary also scores 19.3, below the state's 25.5, after falling from 31.75 the prior year. Secondary's 8th grade is a particular trouble spot: Math 16.9 vs. state 42.3, Science 2.8 vs. state 16.7, and Reading 43.7 vs. state 50.0.

Both schools currently rank at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars, above the district's 67th percentile, though Elementary's rank has slipped over three years while Secondary's has been volatile.
