Summary:

The 55790 zip code area is home to a single high school, Vermilion Country School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While this school faces significant challenges, including consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels among its student population, there is room for improvement through targeted interventions and support programs.

Vermilion Country School had a four-year graduation rate of 84.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, slightly below the statewide average. However, the school's dropout rate of 4.4% for the same year was higher than the state average. On standardized tests, the school's performance was significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 0% of students proficient or better in Math and 11.11% proficient in Reading in the 2024-2025 school year.

The high percentage of students (67.31%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 251 out of 492 Minnesota high schools in 2018-2019 to 409 out of 489 in 2016-2017, suggesting a potential decline in the school's overall performance over time. Despite these challenges, the data suggests there is an opportunity for Vermilion Country School to improve its educational outcomes through targeted interventions and support programs.
