Summary:
ZIP code 55726 covers Cromwell, Minnesota, where two public schools serve roughly 300 students in the Cromwell-Wright Public Schools district: Cromwell-Wright Elementary (grades PK–6, 163 students) and Cromwell-Wright Secondary (grades 7–12, 137 students), both sharing one address and similar student-teacher ratios of 12.4 and 12.2.
Academically the two schools look quite different. Elementary all-grade proficiency in 2025–2026 was 53.5% in Math and 52.3% in Reading, above both the district (45.8 and 48.9) and the state (44.9 and 48.6). Its surprises include 4th grade Math at 94.1% (state 55.2%) and 4th grade Reading at 76.5% (state 48.8%). Secondary all-grade proficiency was lower — 34.5% Math and 43.4% Reading, behind district and state — but 10th grade Reading reached 52.9% versus 42.5% statewide. The Secondary school's clearest strength is completion: a 92.3% graduation rate and 3.8% dropout rate, both better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%.
Science is the shared weak spot, with Elementary Science at 14.3% and Secondary Science at 20.6%, both below the state's 25.5%; the Secondary school's Science End of Course was 27.8% versus 35% statewide. Both schools also declined in all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by more than the state did, and rank history is volatile — the Secondary school earned 4 stars and the 75th percentile in 2024–2025 before falling to 3 stars and 59th percentile, while the Elementary school slipped from the 68th to the 56th percentile. With small enrollment, single-grade results can swing widely and should be read with caution.
