Summary:
ZIP code 55352 in Jordan, Minnesota is served by exactly one middle school: Jordan Middle, a grades 5–8 school with 528 students in the Jordan Public School District. With only one school in the area, there is no local peer to compare against, so the useful benchmarks are its own district and Minnesota statewide averages. The picture is strong: Jordan Middle ranks 53rd of 546 Minnesota middle schools in 2025-26 — the 90th percentile, with 5 stars — while its district ranks 124th of 458, at the 73rd percentile with 4 stars. Its rank has climbed across three years, from 68th to 75th to 53rd.
Proficiency in 2025-26 is above the state in every subject: Reading 58.3% (state 48.6%), Math 49.7% (state 44.9%) and Science 25.9% (state 25.5%). Reading is the standout, 9.7 points above the state and 7.4 points above the district. Math is 4.8 points above the state and 1.8 points above the district. Science is the one soft spot — 5.0 points below the district, though essentially even with the state. Notably, the school's rank and star rating improved even though raw scores were roughly flat or slightly down; the state and district slipped further, so the school rose in relative terms.
Grade by grade, incoming 5th graders perform at or just below state level in all three subjects, while 6th through 8th graders outperform the state substantially — math 9.3 to 12.8 points above, reading 8.4 to 13.9 points above. Math rises steadily by grade, reaching 54.5% in 8th grade, and 8th-grade science (28.7%) is 12.0 points above the state, a sharp contrast with 5th-grade science (23.0% vs. 25.9%). About 26.14% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.9.
