Best Public Schools in Zip Code 56751

ZIP code 56751 covers Roseau, Minnesota, and is served by two public schools in the Roseau Public School District — Roseau Elementary for grades PK–6 with 574 students, and Roseau Secondary for grades 7–12 with 527 students. Together they enroll about 1,101 students. There is no standalone middle school, so grades 7–8 are housed in the secondary building. The district overall ranks 190 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars.

Roseau Secondary is the standout. Its 2025–2026 rank is 98 of 473 — the 79th percentile, 4 stars — a big jump from 56th percentile and 3 stars the prior year, and now above the district overall. Its graduation rate is 90.3% versus 84.9% statewide, though dropout is 4.3%, just above the district's 4.1% and the state's 4.2%. End of Course science is a strength at 54.1% versus 35.0% statewide, with 11th grade math and 10th grade reading also slightly ahead of state. The caveat: 8th grade math is 14.9% versus 42.3% statewide, and 8th grade science is 10.6% versus 16.7%. For parents, this is a school with real momentum but uneven middle-grade results.

Roseau Elementary is steady — 51st percentile, 3 stars — with proficiency close to state in every subject. Its early grades shine: 3rd grade math 63.5% versus 57.9% state, 3rd grade reading 54.0% versus 46.8%, and 5th grade reading 59.7% versus 54.5%. Sixth grade is the weak spot, with math at 24.4% versus 39.5% state and reading at 35.6% versus 53.4%. It has higher free/reduced lunch (32.4% versus 23.53%) and a smaller student-teacher ratio (13.4 versus 16.3). Across both schools, the middle-grade transition — 6th, 7th, and especially 8th grade — is the clearest area to watch.
