Schools serving Brooklyn

Serving all or parts of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Corcoran, Dayton, Maple Grove, Osseo, Plymouth, and Rogers, this district is the fifth largest in the state. It is also is the only Minnesota school district to be named as one of the nation’s “Best Communities for Music Education” every year since 2009. The district enrolls about 20,000 students with seventeen elementary schools, four middle schools, three senior highs, an area learning center, two early childhood centers, two special program sites, and an adult education/enrollment center.

The school takes pride in meeting the academic needs of all of their students. Rush Creek ranks in the top 50 of all elementary schools in the state and it was ranked better than 95% of the other schools in Minnesota by SchoolDigger.com.
