Summary:
ZIP code 56467 is home to a single elementary school: Nevis Elementary, located at 210 Pleasant St W in Nevis, Minnesota. It serves grades PK–6 with 342 students and is part of the Nevis Public School District. About 45.61% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch (roughly 156 students), and the student-teacher ratio is 14.7, implying about 23 teachers. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there is no local comparison to make — the meaningful benchmark is how it performs against the district and the state.
Academically, Nevis Elementary outperforms Minnesota in all three all-grade subjects for 2025–2026: Math at 54.5% proficient versus the state's 44.9%, Reading at 54.6% versus 48.6%, and Science at 26.1% versus 25.5%. Reading is a particular strength in the upper grades — 5th Grade Reading reached 70.2% (15.7 points above the state's 54.5%) and 6th Grade Reading hit 60.0% against 53.4% statewide. Math is strong in grades 4 through 6, led by 6th Grade Math at 52.2% versus the state's 39.5%. The clearest concern is 3rd Grade Reading, where only 34.1% were proficient compared with 46.8% statewide, a 12.7-point gap; 3rd Grade Math also trails the state slightly at 53.7% versus 57.9%.
Looking at trends, all-grade Math rose 5.36 points from the prior year, while Reading slipped 1.15 points and Science fell 8.68 points — a decline softened by the fact that the district dropped even more sharply in Science. Science now sits only marginally above the state average. The school's statewide rank percentile moved from 78 (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 59 (3 stars) in 2024–2025 and back to 66 (3 stars) in 2025–2026, indicating above-average but inconsistent performance. The district as a whole ranks 94th of 458, at the 79th percentile with 4 stars.
