Schools in Park Point, Duluth, Minnesota
Part of the Park Point neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
Park Point has no school of its own, and every school trip crosses the Aerial Lift Bridge. That is the single most important school fact about this neighborhood, and families should think about it in February as well as in September.
The neighborhood sits in Duluth Public Schools (ISD 709), but this guide has not established the current elementary attendance assignment for Park Point addresses from the sources consulted, and it is not going to guess. Contact ISD 709 directly with the specific address, or use the district's school locator. The middle and high school assignments likewise need confirmation, since Park Point sits centrally enough that either of the district's two middle schools and either of its two high schools could apply depending on where the boundary falls.
For private options, the nearest Stella Maris Academy campus is Holy Rosary on East 4th Street, and Marshall School is on Rice Lake Road about twenty minutes away. Private schools are not covered by Minnesota Department of Education report card data, so this guide does not rate them alongside the public schools.
All three of the region's post-secondary institutions are within about twenty minutes, and the University of Minnesota Duluth's Large Lakes Observatory and marine research presence gives the harbor an academic connection that matters to some households here.
One of ISD 709's two middle schools, at 2900 East 4th Street.
Duluth's consolidated Catholic academy, with its nearest campus at Holy Rosary on East 4th Street.
Independent college prep school at 1215 Rice Lake Road, about twenty minutes from the Point.
Higher education nearby: University of Minnesota Duluth, College of St. Scholastica, Lake Superior College.
