Summary:
ZIP code 56315 covers Brandon, Minnesota, and includes two public schools — Brandon-Evansville Middle School (grades 6–8, 124 students) and Brandon-Evansville High School (grades 9–12, 158 students) — both part of Brandon-Evansville Public Schools, which ranks 87th of 458 Minnesota districts at the 81st percentile with 4 stars. No elementary or alternative schools are listed in this ZIP, so combined listed enrollment is 282 students.
The two schools have quite different profiles. The middle school is the steadier of the pair: in 2025–26 it ranked 137th of 546 (75th percentile, 4 stars) and posted math at 47.9% and reading at 50.4%, both above the state figures of 44.9% and 48.6%. The high school, by contrast, is defined by strong completion outcomes — a 95.2% graduation rate and 2.3% dropout rate, versus state rates of 84.9% and 4.2% — but a sharp one-year academic decline. Its all-grade proficiency fell 14.53 points in math, 18.75 points in reading and 24.28 points in science, and its rank dropped from 40th of 450 (91st percentile, 5 stars) to 163rd of 473 (66th percentile, 3 stars). High school math, at 31.3%, now trails the state all-grade figure of 44.9%.
The clearest academic concern in the ZIP is middle school science at 15.9%, well below the district all-grade figure of 31.9%, though close to the state 8th-grade science result of 16.7%. Seventh-grade math is a middle school bright spot at 57.1% versus the state's 40.3%. Because enrollments are small, year-to-year swings should be read with caution. District all-grade math (54.2%) and reading (52.7%) exceed both listed schools, likely reflecting elementary or other schools outside this ZIP.
