Summary:
The 55006 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Braham Elementary, which serves students from the Braham Public School District. This school has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a ranking of 277 out of 872 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
Braham Elementary's performance on MCA-III Math and Reading assessments is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 58.94% in Math and 55.02% in Reading, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school has a student population of 432 and a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 48.15% in 2023-2024, with a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, slightly lower than the state average.
While Braham Elementary's overall performance is strong, there is still room for improvement, particularly in the 6th grade Math and Reading proficiency rates, which are closer to the state average. The school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and its strength in the early elementary grades suggest that the curriculum and instruction may be effective, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be an important factor to consider when identifying potential areas for growth.
