Schools in South End (South Superior), Wisconsin
Part of the South End (South Superior) neighborhood guide. Back to the full guide.
The South End is served by the School District of Superior, which enrolled 3,732 students as of its September 2025 count across five elementaries, a preschool, one middle school, and one high school (School District of Superior, accessed 2026-08-13). Four Corners Elementary, the district's smallest at about 200 students, serves the southern and outlying parts of the district and is the school most South End families ask about, though assignment varies by address across Four Corners, Great Lakes, Cooper, Bryant, and Northern Lights.
All students then attend Superior Middle School, about 888 in grades 6 through 8, and Superior High School, about 1,256 in grades 9 through 12 (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-13).
Two points matter for South End buyers specifically. First, attendance boundaries within the city change, and this neighborhood covers enough ground that assignment genuinely varies; confirm your address with the district rather than a listing sheet. Second, parcels beyond the city line in the Village or Town of Superior may fall into a different arrangement entirely, so if you are shopping near the southern edge, verify school assignment as carefully as you verify the tax jurisdiction.
At roughly 1,256 students, Superior High School is the largest high school in this guide's coverage area, roughly double Cloquet's and more than double Hermantown's, which buys a broader course catalog, more advanced coursework, and a wider activity range than the small Minnesota suburban districts can offer. The district also reports that about 45.8% of students qualified for free or reduced-price meals in 2024-25. This guide builds its own transparent school ratings from Wisconsin DPI data rather than republishing licensed third-party scores.
