The standout schools in the district include St. Michael-Albertville Senior High, which is the largest high school in the district and consistently ranks among the top 10-12 high schools in Minnesota. The two middle schools, St. Michael-Albertville Middle West and St. Michael-Albertville Middle East, also excel, ranking in the top 50 middle schools in the state. At the elementary level, Big Woods Elementary stands out with exceptional academic performance, with over 75% of students proficient or better in Math and 66% in Reading on the MCA-III tests.

While the district overall has a predominantly white student population, there are some schools like Knights Academy, the alternative high school, that have a more diverse racial makeup. However, the academic performance at these more diverse schools tends to lag behind the district's top-performing schools. The district may need to focus more resources and support on its alternative programs to help these students succeed.
