Summary:
ZIP code 56057 contains just one listed public school — Le Center Pre K-8 — an elementary school serving grades PK through 8 with 385 students, part of the Tri-City United School District. Because there are no middle or high schools listed in the ZIP code, this is the only local public option through 8th grade, and older students likely attend school elsewhere in the district or region. The area profile shows 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools and 0 alternative schools. Context figures include 38.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch and a student/teacher ratio of 10.9, suggesting a relatively small school environment.
Reading is the school's clearest strength. All-grade reading proficiency is 51.2%, above the district's 46.7% and the state's 48.6%, and it is the only all-grade subject where the school beats Minnesota. Fifth grade reading stands out dramatically at 70.3% proficient, versus 53.6% in the district and 54.5% statewide — nearly 16 points above both. Sixth grade reading is also strong at 60%. In math, 8th grade reaches 51.2% proficient (8.9 points above both district and state) and 7th grade hits 43.6%, beating both benchmarks, even though all-grade math sits at 40.1% — above the district's 38.1% but below the state's 44.9%.
Science is the weakest subject, with all-grade proficiency at 21.8%, below the district's 23.6% and the state's 25.5%. Third grade is the biggest concern: math proficiency is 31.7% against a district rate of 56.7% and a state rate of 57.9%, while 3rd grade reading is 34.1% versus 42.4% district and 46.8% state. Results also vary widely by grade, from 34.1% to 70.3% in reading. Math fell 7.21 points year over year while the state barely moved, and the school's state ranking slipped from 303 of 881 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 499 of 869 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026.
