Most people have no idea how many
communities are a part of Forest Lake School District #831. The district with the motto, “Inspire
the Learner…Ignite the Potential!,”
is geographically huge. Located 35 minutes northeast of the downtown St. Paul,
Minnesota, this district encompasses one of the largest areas in the state with
over 240 square miles. Forest Lake schools are the educational home of
12 communities in 3 different counties. Students come from Columbus, East
Bethel, Ham Lake, Lino Lakes, Linwood in Anoka County. Other attendees are from
Wyoming and Stacy in Chisago County. Many children are from homes in New
Scandia Township, Forest Lake, Hugo, Marine on the St. Croix or May Township in
Washington County.
As a REALTOR® that works throughout the north and east Minneapolis/St. Paul metro, I have sold a number of homes within District #831. Many residents love the fact that the schools are structured with kindergarten through 6th grade in the elementary schools, 7-9 grades in the junior highs and 10-12th grades in the senior high. It may be “old school” but preferred by many in the area.
There is one high school, Forest Lake High School. Students have many options whether on a college or vocational track. Advanced placement classes, advanced technical/vocational classes and College in the Schools are popular programs at FLHS. With awarding winning sports, theater, speech, music and other extracurricular activities, there is no end to Ranger Pride!

The two junior high schools, Century and Southwest are both located in the heart of Forest Lake. Century Junior High is located across from the high school on highway 97 and Southwest Junior High is on 10th street just south of the business district.
There are 8 traditional community elementary schools (two featuring Spanish Immersion) and one tuition-free Montessori school that are a part of the Forest Lake district. Columbus Elementary, Forest Lake Elementary, Forest View Elementary, Lino Lakes Elementary, Linwood Elementary, Scandia Elementary and Wyoming Elementary are all schools in district #831. Several of these primary schools have been named Minnesota Schools of Excellence. Central Montessori is one of the gems of the district. It provides public elementary education based on Montessori teaching methods and is available tuition-free to all elementary students in the Forest Lake district. Another attractive option is the Lino Lakes Elementary with its STEM education, focusing on a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math curriculum. A Spanish immersion primary education is also offered at either Lino Lakes or Forest View Elementary.
