Summary:
The 55604 zip code area in Minnesota is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area generally underperform the state averages in both math and reading proficiency, one school stands out as a top performer - Great Expectations, a public charter elementary/middle school (grades K-8).
Great Expectations has the highest proficiency rates in both math and reading across most grade levels compared to the other schools and the state averages. The school also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 36.67% and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.8. In contrast, the other schools in the area have higher free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 36.67% at Great Expectations to 48.44% at Sawtooth Mountain Elementary, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students in the area.
The Cook County Senior High also performs reasonably well, ranking in the top 165 out of 450 Minnesota high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 84.2% 4-year graduation rate and a low 4.4% dropout rate. However, the other schools in the area, such as Sawtooth Mountain Elementary, exhibit large performance gaps compared to state averages, particularly in math proficiency, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes.
