Summary:

The zip code 59243 contains a single elementary school, Lambert School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 66 students. While Lambert School appears to have some strengths, such as above-average math and science proficiency, it also faces challenges, including lower English Language Arts performance and a fluctuating statewide ranking.

Over the past three school years, Lambert School's statewide ranking has ranged from 166 out of 401 elementary schools (3 stars) to 293 out of 332 (1 star), suggesting inconsistent performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 34.48% in English Language Arts (compared to the 43.09% state average), 48.28% in Mathematics (compared to the 36.77% state average), and 70% in Science (compared to the 38.16% state average). The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 27.27%, indicating a relatively economically disadvantaged student population.

Despite the school's challenges, it also has some positive attributes, such as a low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 and high per-student spending of $16,722, which is significantly above the state average. However, it's unclear if this higher spending translates to improved outcomes for students. Overall, while Lambert Elementary has some strengths, it faces a mix of performance and demographic challenges that may require further analysis and targeted interventions to address.
