Schools in Zip Code 55333

ZIP code 55333 contains exactly one public school: Cedar Mountain Elementary, a PK–5 building in Franklin serving 171 students with a 9.6 student-teacher ratio and 54.97% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. It is part of Cedar Mountain School District. Because it is the only school in the ZIP, there are no local middle or high school options, so secondary students must attend school outside the area.

Math is the school's clearest strength. All-grade math proficiency is 53.7%, versus 41.7% in the district and 44.9% statewide — 12.0 points above the district and 8.8 points above Minnesota. Fourth grade math (56.7% vs. 55.2% state) and fifth grade math (45.8% vs. 41.9% state) also beat state averages. Reading is 43.9%, essentially tied with the district's 43.6% but 4.7 points below the state's 48.6%. Science is the weak spot at 17.4%, about even with the district's 17.6% but 8.1 points below the state's 25.5%. The biggest grade-level gaps are fourth grade reading (36.7% vs. 48.8% state), fifth grade science (17.4% vs. 25.9% state), and fifth grade reading (50.0% vs. 54.5% state).

The school's overall rating dropped sharply. After two years at the 70th percentile with 4 stars, it now sits at the 46th percentile with 2 stars, ranked 471 of 869 schools, close to the district's own 2-star, 45th-percentile rating. Scores fell broadly year over year: math from 67.07% to 53.7%, reading from 53.66% to 43.9% (swinging from above state to below state), and science from 20.83% to 17.4%, with the gap to the state widening. In short, math remains a relative strength, especially in grades 4–5, while reading and science trail state averages and the school is no longer performing at its prior 4-star level.
