Summary:
The 56277 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Bird Island-Olivia-Lake Lillian school district. While the elementary school, BOLD-Bird Island Elementary, stands out with strong performance on state assessments, the middle and high schools face more significant challenges, with declining proficiency rates as students progress through the grades.
BOLD-Bird Island Elementary excels, with 70.93% of students proficient or better in Math and 44.19% in Reading, outperforming district and state averages. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6. In contrast, BOLD Middle School and BOLD Senior High School lag behind, with proficiency rates dropping significantly from the elementary level, particularly in Math.
While the high school maintains a respectable 84.2% 4-year graduation rate and low 4.4% dropout rate, all schools in the area serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 40.18% to 56.91%. Addressing these socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions could be key to improving academic performance across the district and helping all students reach their full potential.
