Best Public Schools in Zip Code 57353

Zip code 57353 has three schools in Iroquois serving PK–12: Iroquois Elementary - 04, Iroquois Middle School - 02, and Iroquois High School - 01; enrollment ranges from 45 to 114 students. In 2025–26, the elementary and middle schools’ all-grades results were below state rates in both ELA and math. Their simple, equal-school-weight averages were 32% in ELA and 15% in math, compared with state rates of 49% and 44%. The clearest shared concern is math: both schools were below the state, and the average math gap was 11 percentage points wider than the ELA gap.

The schools lead in different subjects: the middle school’s ELA result was 37%, 11 points above the elementary school’s 26%, while the elementary school’s math result was 21%, 11 points above the middle school’s 10%. Both schools were still below state rates in each subject. The high school’s 2025–26 grade 11 ACT results were also below state rates: 9% in ELA versus 48% statewide, and 18% in science versus 45%. SchoolDigger rankings place all three in the lower part of their statewide lists: the elementary school at the 8th percentile, the middle school at the 18th, and the high school at the 0th. The high school also had a reported 0% dropout rate versus 2% statewide and a 100% graduation rate in 2023–24; the available state graduation figure is for a different year.

Recent results show a mixed pattern: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell 2 points at the elementary school but rose 2 points at the middle school, while math fell 12 points and 5 points, respectively. The two-school average ELA gap to the state narrowed from 19 to 17 points, while the math gap widened from 20 to 29 points. SchoolDigger percentiles also varied over three years: elementary moved from 6 to 22 to 8, middle from 5 to 25 to 18, and high school from 38 to 35 to 0. As context, all three schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–25: 50% at elementary, 38% at middle, and 29% at high school; student-teacher ratios were 11.8, 10.3, and 8.2, respectively. The high school’s ACT results are not directly comparable with the earlier Smarter Balanced result, and suppressed math results are unknown.
