Summary:
The 55806 zip code in Minnesota has only one school, Lincoln Park Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Duluth Public School District. While the district is ranked 182 out of 446 in Minnesota, Lincoln Park Middle School's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 392 out of 529 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 355 out of 519 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating decreasing from 1 star to 2 stars.
Academically, Lincoln Park Middle School lags behind the Duluth Public School District and the state of Minnesota in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments. In 2024-2025, the school's overall math proficiency was 23.17%, compared to 45.11% for the district and 45.21% for the state. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 62.5% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which is lower than the state average, this does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes for the students. The declining statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, along with the significant gap in academic proficiency compared to the district and state, suggest that Lincoln Park Middle School is facing challenges in providing its students with a high-quality education. Further investigation into the school's strategies, resources, and support systems may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and better support the educational needs of its student population.
