Schools in Zip Code 56713

ZIP code 56713 contains exactly one school: Stephen-Argyle Central Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 158 students as part of Stephen-Argyle Central Schools. The area summary lists 1 elementary, 0 middle, 0 high, and 0 alternative schools, so this is a single-school deep dive rather than a comparison between schools. Because no middle or high school is located in the ZIP code, local data does not capture student outcomes after grade 6.

Math and science are the school's clear strengths. In 2025–2026, math proficiency was 61.5% versus 44.9% statewide (+16.6 points) and science was 45% versus 25.5% statewide (+19.5 points). Reading came in at 48.4%, essentially level with the state at 48.6%. The prior year was stronger in reading: 59.55% versus 49.59% statewide, meaning reading slipped from nearly 10 points above state to roughly average. The 5th grade cohort is the standout, scoring 70% in math, 70% in reading, and 45% in science — all well above state. At the grade level, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade reading fell below state in 2025–2026, with 6th grade 9.9 points behind.

Key metrics: free/reduced lunch was 36.08% in 2024–2025 and the student/teacher ratio was 13.8. The school's rank moved from the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 74th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–2025, then to the 68th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 — a modest decline worth monitoring. The district itself ranks 128 of 458, or the 72nd percentile, with 4 stars. With only 158 students, individual grade-level percentages rest on small numbers, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution. Overall, this is a relatively strong math and science school with a recent reading concern.
