Summary:

The 59457 zip code is home to a single high school, Fergus High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio that could be a potential strength.

Fergus High School has experienced a drop in its statewide ranking, falling from 32nd out of 124 schools in 2022-2023 to 85th out of 182 schools in 2024-2025. Similarly, the school's SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 4 stars out of 5 to 3 stars over the same period. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages, indicating potential areas for improvement.

Despite these challenges, Fergus High School maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13.9, which is slightly lower than the state average. This could be a strength, as it may allow for more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students (41.21%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests the school may be addressing the needs of a community with lower socioeconomic status.
