Summary:
The 56636 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative learning program), and no middle schools. While the schools in this area face some challenges, King Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 40% of Minnesota elementary schools.
The largest school in the area is Deer River Secondary, which has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years. The district as a whole, Deer River Public School District, appears to be struggling, with all schools in the data set receiving only 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. This suggests the district may need to address systemic issues to improve overall performance.
The data also reveals some equity concerns, with high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the schools in the area. Additionally, the Deer River High School ALP, an alternative learning program, has a high percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch and lower graduation rates compared to the main high school, indicating the program may be serving a more disadvantaged student population.
