About Bay View Elementary

Bay View Elementary is the larger of the two elementary schools in Proctor Public Schools (ISD 704), enrolling roughly 529 students from prekindergarten through grade 5 (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-13).

It serves the City of Proctor and the adjoining Bayview Heights neighborhood of Duluth, which is the main reason residents there tend to describe themselves as "kind of Proctor."

Proctor Public Schools enrolls about 1,848 students across its four main schools plus an early childhood center and alternative programs (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025). The district's attendance area extends beyond the city into Duluth's Bayview Heights neighborhood and north toward Pike Lake, so a Duluth mailing address in this corner of the metro does not automatically mean an ISD 709 school assignment. Boundaries change, so confirm a specific address with the district. This guide builds its own transparent school ratings from Minnesota Department of Education report card data rather than republishing licensed third-party scores.
