Schools in Hunter's Park, Duluth, Minnesota
Part of the Hunter's Park neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Hunter's Park sits in Duluth Public Schools (ISD 709). The usual pathway is Homecroft Elementary, then Ordean East Middle School, then Duluth East High School. Attendance boundaries change between years, so confirm the assignment for your specific address with the district rather than relying on a neighborhood-level statement.
Homecroft Elementary is at 4784 Howard Gnesen Road and enrolls roughly 448 students in preschool through grade 5 (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-13). It is the above-the-hill elementary, shared with Woodland and Kenwood, which means Hunter's Park children start school alongside the neighborhoods they will later share Ordean East and Duluth East with.
Private options are unusually close here. Marshall School, the independent college preparatory school, is at 1215 Rice Lake Road, a short drive west and the nearest private campus to this neighborhood. Stella Maris Academy, the consolidated Catholic system, has both its St. John's campus and its Jr./Sr. High campus on this side of the hill. Private schools are not covered by Minnesota Department of Education report card data, so this guide does not rate them alongside the public schools. Both universities are within about five minutes.
