Summary:
The 56557 zip code in Minnesota is home to two high schools: Mahnomen Secondary and Mahnomen Area Learning Center. Both schools are part of the Mahnomen Public School District, which is ranked 397 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, neither Mahnomen Secondary nor Mahnomen Area Learning Center appear to be standout schools. Mahnomen Secondary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Minnesota high schools over the past 3 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Proficiency rates on MCA-III Math and Reading assessments are significantly below the state average across all grade levels, and the 4-year graduation rate is lower than the state average at 84.2%. Mahnomen Area Learning Center has an even higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 86.67%, and a very high student-teacher ratio of 60 to 1.
The challenges faced by these schools appear to be systemic issues within the Mahnomen Public School District, which is struggling overall. Addressing the low academic performance and equity concerns will likely require targeted interventions and additional resources to meet the unique needs of the student populations served by these schools.
