Summary:
ZIP code 56359 in Onamia, Minnesota, contains just one middle school in this data set — Success, which serves grades 7–9 with an enrollment of 7 students — so there are no local peer schools to compare it against.
Because Success is the only middle school in this ZIP code, it is the sole school to consider. Its most notable feature is its very small size: just 7 students across grades 7–9. On the one academic measure reported at the school level, Reading (MCA-III, All Grades), Success reported 10% proficient, compared with 25.23% for Onamia Public School District and 49.59% statewide. That places the school 15.23 percentage points below its district and 39.59 points below the state. Parents should read this number with caution, since with so few students a single student can move the rate dramatically, and privacy suppression becomes more likely.
Science results for Success (MCA-IV, All Grades and MCA-IV, 8th Grade) are shown as —, meaning the state suppressed them to protect student privacy; they should be treated as unknown, not as zero. At the district level, science proficiency is low relative to the state: 15.53% versus 26.15% for All Grades, and 2.63% versus 16.66% in 8th grade — but those are district figures, not Success's own results. Free/reduced-lunch percentage and student-teacher ratio are not provided, so socioeconomic and staffing context is unavailable. Overall, the available reading result sits below district and state levels, but the data are too sparse — and science is suppressed — to support firm conclusions about the school's academic performance.
