Summary:
The 55011 zip code area in Minnesota is home to 4 elementary schools, including Cedar Creek Elementary School, East Bethel Elementary School, Star of the North Academy Charter S, and Ecse@ Independent School District (Isd) 15 Lifelong Learning. The data shows that the two traditional public elementary schools, Cedar Creek and East Bethel, are the strongest performers in the area, consistently ranking in the top 50% of Minnesota elementary schools and outperforming district and state averages on math and reading proficiency.
In contrast, the charter school Star of the North Academy lags behind the other schools, ranking in the bottom 25% of Minnesota elementary schools and underperforming the district and state averages on both math and reading proficiency across most grade levels. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low across all the schools, ranging from 10.0 to 15.0, which could be a contributing factor to their academic performance. However, the data also shows a notable difference in the free/reduced lunch rates between the traditional public schools (around 37-39%) and the charter school (89.44%), suggesting the charter school serves a more economically disadvantaged student population.
Overall, the data indicates that the traditional public elementary schools in the 55011 zip code area, St. Francis Area Schools, are providing a stronger educational experience for their students compared to the local charter school option, Star of the North Academy Charter S.
