Summary:
ZIP code 55746, covering Hibbing, Minnesota, is home to two elementary schools — Washington Elementary serving grades K–1 and Greenhaven Elementary serving grades 2–3 — both part of the Hibbing Public School District. Together they enroll 622 students, and their grade spans fit together rather than overlap: Washington has 310 students and Greenhaven has 312, a difference of only 2 students. That near-equal size suggests a fairly stable group of children moving from the early grades into the later ones.
Greenhaven Elementary is the academic standout in math. In 2025–2026, 61.6% of its students were proficient in math, compared with 41.7% in the district and 44.9% statewide — about 20 points above the district and 17 points above the state. In 2024–2025, math proficiency was 65.09%, again far above the district (44.37%) and state (45.21%). Reading tells a different story: 43.4% in 2025–2026 and 43.53% in 2024–2025, both below district and state levels. That leaves a notable math-versus-reading gap of roughly 18 to 22 points in Greenhaven's own results.
Washington Elementary stands out for staffing: its student-teacher ratio of 11.0 in 2024–2025 is well below Greenhaven's 15.6, even though the two schools have nearly identical enrollment and similar free/reduced-lunch rates (59.35% at Washington, 58.33% at Greenhaven). Washington has no test scores in this data, most likely because state testing begins after grade 1. Keep in mind this is a small sample of two schools, and the free/reduced-lunch and ratio figures cover only 2024–2025.
