Summary:
ZIP code 56175 has exactly one elementary school: Tracy Elementary, a PK–6 school with 359 students in Tracy, Minnesota. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no neighboring schools to compare it with — the most useful comparisons are to its own district and to Minnesota as a whole. The school belongs to Tracy Area Public School District, which ranks 118th of 458 Minnesota districts (74th percentile, 4 stars). About 54.87% of Tracy Elementary students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 12.5.
Tracy Elementary performs above both its district and the state. In 2025–2026, 59.7% of students were proficient in math (district 46.7%, state 44.9%), 57.5% in reading (district 51.4%, state 48.6%), and 33.3% in science (district 33.3%, state 25.5%). Third-grade math was a highlight at 77.3% proficient versus 57.9% statewide — a gap of more than 19 percentage points. The school's state ranking also rose sharply, from the 64th percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 75th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, an improvement of 98 places.
Math and reading proficiency both grew year over year (up 4.09 and 2.91 points) while statewide scores dipped slightly. Reading was steady across grades 3–6, ranging only from 56.3% to 59.1%. Two areas to watch: math proficiency declines as students get older, falling from 77.3% in 3rd grade to 47.9% in 6th grade, and science is the lowest subject at 33.3% — though still 7.8 points above the state. Overall, Tracy Elementary stands out as a high-performing, 4-star school that exceeds state averages in all three tested subjects.
