Summary:
ZIP code 55024, centered on Farmington, is home to three middle-level schools serving about 1,648 students in grades 5 through 8: Robert Boeckman Middle School (grades 6–8, 855 students) and Levi P. Dodge Middle School (grades 6–8, 692 students), both in the Farmington Public School District, plus GOA School of Logic (grades 5–8, 101 students), a charter school in the Great Oaks Academy Charter School district.
GOA School of Logic is the clear academic standout. It ranks 55th out of 546 schools statewide — the 90th percentile with 5 stars — and is the only school here above the state in all-grade Math (52.2%, 7.3 points above) and Reading (63.1%, 14.5 points above). Its 6th-grade Reading score of 71.9% towers over Robert Boeckman at 39.5% and Levi P. Dodge at 35.7%, against a state 6th-grade Reading mark of 53.4%. At the other end, Dodge has fallen from the 60th percentile in 2023-24 to the 34th in 2025-26, with Reading down about 8.5 points and Math down about 5.8 points year over year. Boeckman sits in the middle — 52nd percentile, 3 stars — and stays within roughly 1–2 points of the Farmington district average, though Dodge trails that district by 11.7 points in Math and 3.9 in Reading.
Across all three schools, Reading is the strongest subject and Science the weakest — Boeckman at 13.7%, Dodge at 9.2%, and GOA at 21.1% all-grade, all below the state all-grade Science benchmark of 25.5%. Notably, poverty rates (about 21–26% free/reduced lunch) and student-teacher ratios (15.8–16.1) are tightly clustered, so these factors don't obviously explain the wide performance gaps. District averages also run higher than either Farmington school, so treat them as context rather than direct comparisons.
