Schools in Zip Code 55066

ZIP code 55066, covering Red Wing, Minnesota and the surrounding Goodhue County area, is home to 12 schools serving roughly 2,607 students in total — four elementary, two middle, five high, and one alternative school — spread across the Red Wing Public School District, the Goodhue County Education District, Creekstone Montessori Charter, and the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Enrollment varies enormously, from 762 students at Red Wing Senior High down to just 10 at Pathways Program Grades 6-7, and the mix includes traditional public schools, online programs, alternative settings, and a charter school.

Creekstone Montessori is the clearest academic standout: its reading proficiency of 48.0% is essentially at the state's 48.6%, its science score of 50.0% is roughly double the state's 25.5%, and it has the lowest free/reduced-lunch percentage in the group at 17.21%. Among traditional Red Wing public schools, Twin Bluff School leads, reaching the 50th percentile with 3 stars and outperforming its district in all three subjects — math 35.5%, reading 40.1%, and science 19.0%.

Red Wing Senior High has the strongest graduation outcome at 90.8%, above its district's 86.0% and the state's 84.9%, though its proficiency scores trail district and state. Burnside Elementary posts the highest math proficiency among Red Wing public schools at 37.7%, but its reading of 31.5% falls below the district's 34.5%. Goodhue County programs generally report lower results — 5RiversOnline Secondary's math of 23.1% beats its district's 8.8% but not the state's 44.9% — and science is a broad challenge everywhere except Creekstone. Note that several small, online, and alternative schools have values suppressed by the state; these are unknown, not zero.
