Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59089

Summary:

The 59089 zip code area is home to two schools, Wyola Elementary and Wyola 7-8, both part of the Wyola Elementary School District. Unfortunately, these schools have consistently ranked among the lowest-performing in the state, with Wyola Elementary ranking 394th out of 401 elementary schools and Wyola 7-8 ranking 217th out of 222 middle schools in 2024-2025.

Both Wyola Elementary and Wyola 7-8 have extremely low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Wyola Elementary had only 2.7% proficiency in ELA and 0% proficiency in Math, while the state averages were 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. Additionally, both schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community.

Despite the high per-student spending of $21,885 at both schools, which is significantly higher than the state average, the academic outcomes remain extremely poor. This suggests that simply spending more money may not be the solution to improving educational outcomes in this area. The small enrollment numbers, with only 62 students at Wyola Elementary and 21 students at Wyola 7-8, may also present unique challenges in terms of staffing, resources, and the ability to offer a diverse curriculum.
