Summary:

The 55408 zip code of Minneapolis, Minnesota is home to three elementary schools: Green Central Elementary, Lyndale Elementary, and Whittier Elementary. These schools are part of the Minneapolis Public School District, which is ranked 300 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the three schools, Green Central Elementary appears to be the strongest performer, with higher proficiency rates in math and reading compared to the other two schools. In contrast, Whittier Elementary has the lowest proficiency rates in both subjects and the lowest statewide rankings, with a ranking of 850 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and a 0 out of 5 star rating.

All three schools in the 55408 zip code have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past three school years, and they all perform below the Minneapolis Public School District and Minnesota state averages in both math and reading proficiency. The high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients at these schools, ranging from 50.36% to 87.84%, suggest that the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
