Justice Alan Page Elementary School named after Vikings legend
The neighborhood is served by School District 622, known more commonly as the North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District. It earns a B from Niche. Younger students do not have to leave the community to attend Justice Alan Page Elementary School, which opened in 2022 and does not have a Niche grade. The school honors the former Vikings star, who was part of Minnesota’s famed Purple People Eaters defensive line of the 1970s. Page went on to become a state supreme court justice after his playing career and was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1988. Older students can attend John Glenn Middle School, rated C-plus, and North High School, rated C. Minnesota allows students to apply for transfers to schools outside of their assigned districts as part of an open enrollment program. Private options include Hill-Murray School, a co-ed Catholic institution that serves students in sixth through 12th grades, and Mounds Park Academy, a private college preparatory school that serves students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
Hill Murray School has a yearly tuition of over $15,000 per student.

A first-ring suburb with appealing access to St. Paul, Minneapolis
The neighborhood is only 5 miles from the world headquarters of 3M, a Fortune 500 company that is one of the major employers in the Twin Cities region. Highway 36 connects to Interstate 35, which leads directly into downtown St. Paul. The heart of the riverfront city is about a 10-mile drive from the neighborhood. Highway 36 also provides access to downtown Minneapolis, about 15 miles away. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is about an 18-mile drive. “Maplewood is a first-ring suburb, so accessibility is a draw,” Davich says. Those in need of public transportation can catch the bus within the neighborhood for travel to local points of interest, including M Health Fairview St. John’s Hospital, about 4 miles away. Residents should be aware that travel in and around the area can be impacted by freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall during the winter.
