Summary:
The 56176 zip code area has only one elementary school, Trimont Elementary, which serves grades 3-6 and is part of the Martin County West School District. While Trimont Elementary has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average math proficiency in certain grades, it also faces challenges, including below-average reading proficiency and an overall district ranking of 268 out of 446 in Minnesota.
Trimont Elementary has 191 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1, which may be a positive factor. However, the school's 41.88% free and reduced-price lunch rate indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, which can impact academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, Trimont Elementary's math proficiency rates ranged from 34.04% (5th grade) to 58.33% (3rd grade), compared to the state average of 45.21%, while its reading proficiency rates ranged from 40.82% (6th grade) to 48.94% (5th grade), compared to the state average of 49.59%.
Overall, Trimont Elementary is a relatively average-performing school that could benefit from targeted efforts to improve its reading proficiency and overall academic outcomes. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 492 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year suggest that it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. Parents in the 56176 zip code area may want to consider these factors when evaluating educational options for their children.
