Summary:
ZIP code 58722 has one listed school, Burlington-Des Lacs Elementary School, serving listed grades PK–6 in United 7, so families have no within-ZIP school comparison. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades proficiency was 75% in math versus 54% statewide, 68% in reading versus 57%, and 55–63% in science versus 39%. The most important overall finding is that the school was above the state in all three subjects, with its clearest exact-score advantage in math.
Because it is the only school in the list, it is both the highest and lowest locally; that is not a meaningful school-to-school ranking. Math had the largest exact state advantage at 21 percentage points, while reading was 11 points higher and science was 16–24 points higher. Grade-level results add important exceptions: grade 8 reading was 45–53%, or 1–9 points below the state’s 54%, while grade 8 science was 70–78%, 27–35 points above the state. Grade 4 science was 35–43%, spanning from 5 points below to 3 points above the state. The supplied grade 7 and 8 test records do not match the listed PK–6 span, so those results warrant caution.
Math and reading improved faster than state results from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: math rose 20 points versus 13 statewide, widening its lead from 14 to 21 points; reading rose 24 points versus 17 statewide, widening its lead from 4 to 11. The science interval does not establish whether the school gained or lost ground relative to the state. SchoolDigger ranked the school 15th of 216 for 2025–2026, in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, up 36 places from 51st the previous year; it ranked 21st of 217 in 2023–2024. Other context includes a 15.3 student-teacher ratio and 17% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, plus 11% chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026, below the district’s 15% and the state’s 19%.
