Summary:
The 56208 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Appleton-Milan Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 223 students. The school is part of the Lac qui Parle Valley Schools district, which is ranked 293 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Appleton-Milan Elementary has consistently performed in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools for the past three years, with rankings between 675 and 732 out of 845-881 schools. The school's proficiency rates in both Math and Reading are below the district and state averages for all grades, 3rd grade, and 4th grade. Additionally, 69.51% of Appleton-Milan Elementary students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which is slightly lower than the state average, Appleton-Milan Elementary continues to struggle to meet state performance standards. Addressing the significant achievement gaps and supporting the high-poverty student population will likely be key priorities for the school and district moving forward.
