Summary:
The 55987 zip code area is home to 13 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 5 high schools, and no alternative schools. These schools are part of the Winona Area Public School District, Bluffview Montessori, Riverway Learning Community Charter, and Hiawatha Valley Education District.
Among the standout schools in the area, Bluffview Montessori stands out with the highest overall performance on state assessments, with 64.71% of students proficient or better in reading and 43.8% proficient or better in math. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.1. Other high-performing schools include Goodview Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, both of which have strong academic performance across reading and math.
However, there is a significant disparity in academic performance between the highest-performing schools and the lowest-performing schools, such as Winona Area Learning Center and River Valley Academy Alternative Learning Center. The schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower academic performance compared to schools with lower free/reduced lunch rates. Additionally, the alternative and special education-focused schools have the lowest test scores and highest student-teacher ratios, suggesting the need for additional resources and support for these specialized programs.
