Schools in Zip Code 56672

ZIP code 56672 covers Remer, Minnesota, and lists three schools — one elementary serving PK–5 and two high schools serving grades 6–12 and 7–12 — all part of Northland Community Schools, with 344 students reported in total. Because the secondary schools absorb the middle grades, there is no standalone middle school. The district is ranked 380th of 458 in Minnesota with a 17th-percentile figure and 1 star, so the school-level results below sit within a district the data identifies as lower-performing relative to the state overall.

Northland Secondary is the relative academic standout in 2025–2026, posting the highest all-grade proficiency among schools with reported data — 19.5% in math, 31.0% in reading and 18.4% in science — and beating the district average in all three subjects, though it still trails the state in every subject. It also reports 68.4% graduation and 21.0% dropout, compared with 84.9% and 4.2% statewide. Northland Elementary is the largest school at 185 students, has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate at 77.3% and the lowest student-to-teacher ratio at 8.0, but the lowest current proficiency (16.9% math, 22.1% reading, 10.8% science), including a reported 0% for third-grade math and reading; its scores declined from the prior year. Little Sand enrolls 10 students, and the state suppressed all of its school-level test scores, so its academic performance is unknown from this data.

Across all three schools, free/reduced lunch ranges from 70.0% to 77.3%, and student-to-teacher ratios are relatively low at 8.0 to 13.4. The district trails the state by 26.7 points in math, 21.8 points in reading and 10.8 points in science. Northland Elementary has stayed in the low teens in percentile rank, while Northland Secondary improved in math and science yet fell from 43rd to 27th percentile.
