Summary:
ZIP code 55744 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota contains seven schools — two elementary, two middle, two high, and one alternative — all part of the Grand Rapids Public School District, which ranks 202 of 458 districts in the state at the 56th percentile with 3 stars and serves about 3,328 students across these schools.
East Rapids Elementary is the standout, earning 4 stars and beating both district and state in all three subjects: 58.7% math, 62.2% reading, and 30.2% science, with particularly strong 4th grade results. Grand Rapids Senior High posts the best graduation outcomes in the group at 94.4% graduation and a 2.0% dropout rate, plus strong science at 39.1%, though its math (34.4%) and reading (45.2%) trail district and state levels. Robert J. Elkington Middle School shows bright spots in 6th grade — 55.7% math and 68% reading — but weak science at 12.9%, and it slipped from 4 stars to 3.
The alternative settings face greater challenges. Grand Rapids Area Learning Center reports 0% math and 5% science, an 80.9% graduation rate, a 7.2% dropout rate, and the highest student-teacher ratio at 26.7. Itaskin Education Center, with just 39 students and a 92.31% free/reduced-lunch rate, reports 0% math and 21.4% reading. Middle Area Learning Center has historically low ranks and its current scores are suppressed, while West Rapids Elementary serves PK–2 and has no 2025–2026 test data. Suppressed values (—) mean unknown, not zero; reported 0% figures come from very small schools and warrant caution.
