About Pike Lake Elementary
Pike Lake Elementary is the northern elementary in Proctor Public Schools (ISD 704), enrolling roughly 293 students from kindergarten through grade 5 (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-14).
The building is at 5682 Martin Road, which is a Duluth address rather than a Proctor one, a useful illustration of the point below about district lines not following city lines. It serves the Pike Lake and Canosia area north of Proctor, a genuinely rural attendance area of lake lots and township parcels. For buyers looking at lake property north of the hill this school is often the deciding factor, because parcels around Pike Lake can fall into ISD 704, ISD 700 (Hermantown), or ISD 709 (Duluth) depending on exactly where they sit.
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.
