We're all Ponies
Stillwater Area Public Schools stretches from Marine on St. Croix to Afton. We serve more than 8,000 students in 18 different communities including Lake
Elmo and parts of Woodbury. The district is made up of seven elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school.
Families in our community value choice and we provide a variety of learning environments to meet your child's individual needs. Students are eligible to attend school outside of their assigned attendance area provided space is available at the school of their choice and application processes are followed.

Learn much more than a language.
Great schools don't happen by accident
To meet the varied and diverse needs of our students requires the efforts of many different people coming together to do what is right for their kids. It takes an entire community, or in our case, an entire river valley! We have amazing people - from our staff and volunteers to community partners - helping us care for our students.
Check out our "It Takes A Valley" video series to learn more about how we're all coming together to love the students of Stillwater Area Public Schools.
