Summary:
The 56520 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Breckenridge Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Breckenridge Public School District. While Breckenridge Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in 2024-2025, the school has some bright spots in its academic performance, particularly in 5th and 6th grade reading proficiency.
Breckenridge Elementary's overall proficiency rates in Math and Reading are generally below the state averages, but the school stands out with a 5th grade Math proficiency rate of 53.33%, which is higher than the state average of 42.94%. Additionally, the school's 5th and 6th grade Reading proficiency rates of 56.67% and 60.71%, respectively, are also higher than the state averages. This suggests that the school may be doing a better job at supporting student learning in certain grade levels or subject areas.
One notable characteristic of Breckenridge Elementary is its relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 55.56%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This could be a factor in the school's academic performance and may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of this student population. However, the school's smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which is lower than the state average, could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
