Summary:
The 55722 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Greenway Public School District. While Vandyke Elementary stands out with consistently higher proficiency rates and a 3-star rating, the middle and high schools, Greenway Senior High and Greenway Middle, appear to be performing below state averages on key metrics.
Vandyke Elementary has maintained strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading exceeding both district and state averages. In contrast, Greenway Middle and Greenway Senior High have consistently lower proficiency rates in these subjects, as well as lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates compared to state averages. Both the middle and high schools have received only 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger, placing them in the bottom half of their respective school types in Minnesota.
The schools in the 55722 zip code area have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 50.67% at Greenway Senior High to 55.95% at Vandyke Elementary, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The student-teacher ratios also vary, with Vandyke Elementary having a lower ratio of 12.7 compared to 15.3 at Greenway Middle. These factors, combined with the stark performance differences between the elementary and secondary schools, raise questions about equity and the need for targeted improvement efforts to better serve all students in the Greenway Public School District.
