Summary:
The 55396 zip code has only one middle school, GFW Middle School, which is part of the GFW Public Schools district. The school has 175 students and its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally below the state averages in both math and reading.
GFW Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 252 out of 545 middle schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to 345 out of 529 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating). The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.86% in 2023-2024, which is often associated with lower academic achievement. The student-teacher ratio is 15.6, which is slightly lower than the state average.
The GFW Public Schools district, of which GFW Middle School is a part, is ranked 276 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district as a whole may be struggling to provide high-quality education to its students, and the middle school's performance may be reflective of broader district-level challenges.
