Summary:

The 55805 zip code area of Duluth, Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, Myers-Wilkins Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Myers-Wilkins Elementary is a low-performing school, ranking 747 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Myers-Wilkins Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates on the MCA-III Math and Reading assessments that are significantly lower than the Duluth Public School District and Minnesota state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20% of all students at Myers-Wilkins were proficient or better in Math, compared to 45.11% for the district and 45.21% for the state. The school also serves a high-poverty student population, with 90.28% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Despite the small class sizes at Myers-Wilkins, with a student-teacher ratio of 7.4, the school's academic performance remains a significant concern. Addressing the challenges faced by this school will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, providing targeted interventions, and leveraging community resources to support the needs of the high-poverty student population.
