Summary:
ZIP code 55616 covers Two Harbors, Minnesota, and contains two public schools serving 964 students in total: Minnehaha Elementary (PK–5, 367 students) and Two Harbors Secondary (grades 6–12, 597 students), both operated by the Lake Superior Public School District. Because the secondary building spans grades 6 through 12, the middle grades are not reported separately, so its "All Grades" figures blend middle school and high school results together.
Minnehaha Elementary is the academic standout. Its reading proficiency of 59.9% runs 11.3 points above the state, and every tested grade beats the state in reading. It ranks in the 61st percentile with 3 stars, now above its own district's 48th-percentile, 2-star standing. Two Harbors Secondary is the completion standout: an 89.7% graduation rate versus 84.9% statewide and a 1.2% dropout rate versus 4.2% statewide. But its math proficiency of 27.5% sits 17.4 points below the state's 44.9% — the steepest subject gap in this dataset — and its rank has swung from the 75th percentile down to the 51st.
Both schools share a pattern: reading is the relative strength, math the weakness. Results also vary sharply by grade, and the smaller cohorts mean single-grade numbers can swing on a handful of students. At Minnehaha, 5th grade math is 25.0% while 3rd grade math is 58.7%. At the secondary, 6th grade reading is 66.0% — the highest figure in the data — while 7th grade reading is 31.2% and 8th grade science is 10.7%. Notably, Minnehaha posts the stronger results despite a higher free/reduced-lunch rate (39.24% versus 30.32%), and it runs 13.7 students per teacher against 16.7 at the secondary.
