Summary:
ZIP code 56082 covers St. Peter, Minnesota, and its 8 listed schools — 2 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high, and 3 alternative programs enrolling about 2,087 students — operate within the St. Peter Public School District and the Minnesota Valley Education District.
North Elementary School is the academic standout, with 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency of 71.8% in Math (state 44.9%) and 58.5% in Reading (state 48.6%), a 4-star rating, and 81st percentile. St. Peter Middle School is also 4 stars and 73rd percentile, with Reading at 54.2% and Science at 26.6%, both above state, while its Math (41.0%) trails the district. St. Peter High School (3 stars, 63rd percentile) posts a 95.1% graduation rate and 3.6% dropout rate, both better than state, and Reading of 56.7%, but Math (31.8%) and Science EOC (28.9%) fall below district and state figures.
The alternative settings — Oshawa Learning Academy, Minnesota Valley School, Minnesota River School, and Rock Bend High School Alternative Learning Center — serve only 14 to 27 students each with high free/reduced lunch rates, and much of their test data is suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown. Where reported, scores are very low. South Elementary School serves K–1, so it has no test scores or rank, and its 13.3 student-teacher ratio is the lowest among the comprehensive schools. Overall, families here have a high-performing elementary, a solid middle school strong in reading, and a high school with excellent graduation outcomes but weaker math and EOC science.
