Summary:
The 55042 zip code area is home to 3 public schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The standout school in this data set is Oak-Land Middle School, which is consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state and outperforms state and district averages on standardized tests. In contrast, Pankalo Education Center appears to be the weakest performing school, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with Oak-Land Middle School and Lake Elmo Elementary (both with lower free/reduced-price lunch rates) demonstrating stronger academic outcomes compared to Pankalo Education Center. Additionally, the significant difference in student-teacher ratios between the schools may indicate resource disparities, though this does not necessarily translate to better academic performance.
Overall, the data analysis highlights the stark contrast in educational experiences and outcomes for students in the 55042 zip code, with Oak-Land Middle School emerging as the standout institution. These findings could inform policy decisions and resource allocation strategies to address the disparities observed in the data and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Stillwater Area Public Schools and Northeast Metro 916 districts.
