Summary:
The 56129 zip code is home to two schools, Ellsworth Elementary and Ellsworth Secondary, both part of the Ellsworth Public School District. While Ellsworth Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Minnesota elementary schools, Ellsworth Secondary has struggled to match the district and state averages in academic proficiency.
Ellsworth Elementary stands out as the stronger-performing school, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 255 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools. The school's math and reading proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, Ellsworth Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9, which may contribute to its academic success.
In contrast, Ellsworth Secondary has a 2-star rating and a ranking of 275 out of 472 Minnesota high schools. The school's math and reading proficiency rates are below the district and state averages, and its graduation rate of 84.2% is slightly lower than the state average. While both schools serve a population with a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, the secondary school appears to have more room for improvement in order to better serve its students and community.
