Summary:
ZIP code 55947 covers La Crescent, Minnesota, where 5 schools — 2 elementary, 1 middle, 2 high, and 0 alternative — enroll about 1,099 students in grades PK–12. Three of those schools belong to the La Crescent-Hokah School District, which has 998 students and ranks 66 of 458 districts statewide (4 stars). The other two belong to the much smaller La Crescent Montessori & STEM School district, with 101 students and a rank of 176 of 458 (3 stars). Because the public district educates roughly 91% of area students, area-level numbers are shaped mostly by it.
La Crescent-Hokah Elementary is the academic standout, with the area's highest math proficiency (71.5% vs 44.9% statewide) and strong reading (62.0% vs 48.6%), climbing from the 52nd to the 85th percentile in rank over two years. La Crescent Senior High reports a 98.7% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and science proficiency of 45.9%, and it jumped 47 percentile points to the 85th. La Crescent Sec Montessori/STEM leads every school in reading at 72.7% and has the smallest classes at 9.7 students per teacher, though its math (38.9%) sits below the state average.
La Crescent-Hokah Middle School improved to the 59th percentile and 3 stars, and its 5th-grade reading of 66.2% beats the state's 54.5%, but its math is 34.8% and every tested grade from 5th through 8th trails the state. La Crescent Montessori & STEM Academy is mixed: reading above the state average (64.5%) and math slightly below (43.8%). Both Montessori schools are tiny, at 55 and 46 students, and several grade-level scores are suppressed by the state for small cohorts — those unknown values are not zeros.
