Piedmont Elementary

About Piedmont Elementary

Piedmont Elementary is the neighborhood school for Piedmont and the surrounding above-the-hill ground on Duluth's west side. It sits at 2827 Chambersburg Avenue and enrolls roughly 417 students in preschool through grade 5, making it the largest of the three west-side elementaries.

It is one of nine elementaries in Duluth Public Schools and feeds Lincoln Park Middle School and then Denfeld High School. Its catchment covers the hillside and plateau northwest of Lincoln Park, an area defined by the Piedmont trail system and by housing that runs from prewar on the lower blocks to postwar above.

Publicly reported proficiency figures sit modestly below the Minnesota state averages in both math and reading. This guide builds its own school ratings from Minnesota Department of Education report card data rather than republishing licensed third-party scores, and that rating is pending; the proficiency note in the frontmatter is flagged for verification against MDE directly.
