Summary:
ZIP code 56723 covers Fisher, Minnesota, where two public schools — Fisher Elementary serving grades PK–6 and Fisher Secondary serving grades 7–12 — share a single campus at 313 Park Ave and enroll 222 students combined, all within the Fisher Public School District. The district overall ranks 229 of 458 Minnesota schools, or the 50th percentile with 3 stars, but that middle-of-the-pack number hides a wide gap between its two schools.
Fisher Secondary is the clear standout. Its 2025–2026 rank is 62 of 473 schools — 87th percentile, 4 stars — up from 328 of 450, 27th percentile, 1 star the year before, a jump from below average to the top 13% of the state in one year. Subject results back this up: 10th grade reading is 53.8% proficient versus 42.5% statewide, End of Course science is 53.8% versus 35.0%, and 11th grade math is 36.4% versus 35.3%. The weak spots are all-grade math at 22.7% versus 44.9% statewide, 8th grade math at 10.5% versus 42.3%, a graduation rate of 70.0% versus 84.9%, and a dropout rate of 5.0% versus 4.2%.
Fisher Elementary ranks 621 of 869 schools — 29th percentile, 1 star — and has held near that level for three years. Its strengths are science, at 36.4% proficient versus 25.5% statewide, and 6th grade reading at 60.0% versus 53.4%. Math is the main concern: 31.3% all grades versus 44.9% statewide, dropping to 13.3% in 6th grade. Both schools serve economically challenged communities, with free or reduced-price lunch above 45%, and both have small enrollments, so single-year changes should be read with caution.
