Ronald McDonald House has state-suppressed test scores, so its performance is unknown.
No reporting school in 55414 meets Minnesota’s all-grade averages (44.9% math, 48.6% reading, 25.5% science). Reading generally outpaces math and science, and science is often weakest. All reporting schools have high free/reduced-lunch rates—68.92% at Marcy, 76.53% at Pratt, and 100% at both Venture Academy Middle and Venture Academy High. Lower student/teacher ratios do not line up with better results here: Pratt (7.8) and Venture Academy Middle (7.1) have lower ratios than Marcy (11.1), but lower proficiency. For parents, Marcy is improving and the relative academic leader in this zip, while Pratt is declining and the Venture Academy schools face the deepest academic challenges.
