Best Public Schools in Zip Code 59934

Summary:

The 59934 zip code has only one school, Trego School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Trego Elementary District. This small elementary school has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, dropping from 169 out of 329 schools in 2021-2022 to 330 out of 401 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend in its academic performance.

Trego School's academic achievement is well below the state average, with only 33.33% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.29% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 43.09% and 36.77%, respectively. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $24,093 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, these investments do not appear to be translating into better educational outcomes for the students. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 100% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Overall, the analysis of Trego School highlights several areas of concern, including declining performance, low academic achievement, and a potential mismatch between spending and outcomes. While the small class sizes may provide more individualized attention, the school's struggles to meet state standards suggest that additional resources and support may be needed to improve the educational experience and outcomes for the students in this community.
