Summary:
The 56716 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and no middle schools or alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a student population that faces significant economic challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools in the area is Highland Elementary, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages on MCA-III math and reading assessments. In contrast, Crookston Secondary has seen its statewide ranking improve in recent years, but still lags behind the district and state averages in many grade levels and subject areas. The small size of the Crookston Pre-K Program and Northern Lights Academy may present unique challenges for these schools.
Overall, the schools in the 56716 zip code area face a range of challenges, including economic disadvantage among the student population and disparities in academic performance. However, the presence of high-performing schools like Highland Elementary and the improvement of Crookston Secondary suggest that there are also pockets of success and progress within the local education system. The Crookston Public School District will likely need to continue addressing these challenges to ensure that all students in the area have access to a high-quality education.
