Summary:
ZIP code 56071 covers New Prague, Minnesota, where three elementary schools serve local families: two PK–5 schools — Raven Stream Elementary (542 students) and Falcon Ridge (519 students) — plus Central Education Campus (105 students), which serves grades PK–8, all within New Prague Area Schools. Together they enroll 1,166 students, and the two PK–5 schools account for about 91% of that total. The district itself ranks 114th of 458 in Minnesota, at the 75th percentile with 4 stars.
Falcon Ridge posts the stronger reading results of the two ranked schools: 53.6% of all grades are proficient in reading, above the district (51.7%) and state (48.6%), with 3rd-grade reading at 58.8%. Its math proficiency is 57.4%. It ranks 333 of 869 (62nd percentile, 3 stars) and improved from the 56th percentile the prior year. Raven Stream, the largest school, is competitive in math at 56.2% — well above the state's 44.9% — with 4th-grade math at 62.1% and 5th-grade math at 45.5%, but reading is its weak point at 45.6%, below both district and state, and only 35.4% in 3rd-grade reading. Its rank percentile fell from 68 to 54 to 52, and it holds 3 stars.
Central Education Campus has the smallest enrollment, the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.8), and the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (21.9%). No test-score or rank data is provided for it here, so its achievement cannot be compared with the other two. A shared weakness is 5th-grade science: Raven Stream is at 19.2% and Falcon Ridge at 19.8%, below the state's 25.9% but slightly above the district's 18.7%. Free/reduced-lunch rates are fairly similar across all three schools, ranging from 17.92% to 21.9%.
