Summary:
The 55953 zip code area has only one elementary school, Lyle Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 130 students. Lyle Elementary is part of the Lyle Public School District, which is ranked 370 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lyle Elementary's academic performance, as measured by MCA-III proficiency rates, is generally below the state averages in both math and reading across all grades. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 27.5% in math and 30% in reading, compared to state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school's performance is also below the Lyle Public School District's averages in most cases. Lyle Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 609 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating) to 713 out of 872 in 2024-2025 (1-star rating).
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 at Lyle Elementary, which is lower than the state average, the school's consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the state and district averages is a significant concern. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.85% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Addressing the underlying factors, such as resource allocation, instructional practices, and support for disadvantaged students, will be crucial in helping the school and district improve student achievement.
