Summary:

The 56080 zip code is home to one exemplary elementary school, St. Clair Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. This school has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Minnesota elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

St. Clair Elementary outperforms both the St. Clair Public School District and the state averages in math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, 60.16% of students were proficient or better in math, compared to 49.45% for the district and 45.21% statewide. Similarly, 62.2% of students were proficient or better in reading, surpassing the district's 54.95% and the state's 49.59%.

While St. Clair Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 24.21% in 2023-2024 suggests it may serve a more affluent student population compared to the district or state. However, the school's consistent high rankings and strong proficiency rates across all grade levels indicate it is providing a high-quality education that prepares students for success, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
