Best Public Schools in Zip Code 55444


Summary:

The 55444 zip code area in Minnesota is home to two elementary schools: Monroe Elementary School - MSE and Spero Academy Brooklyn Park. While both serve economically disadvantaged communities, Monroe Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, with significantly higher enrollment and stronger academic performance on standardized tests compared to Spero Academy.

Monroe Elementary has 517 students, a more diverse student population, and consistently outperforms Spero Academy and state/district averages on MCA-III Math and Reading assessments. In contrast, Spero Academy, a public charter school, has only 52 students and performs below state and district averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.33% to 23.08% in reading and 15.38% to 20% in math.

Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. However, the lower student-teacher ratio at Spero Academy does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be more influential in driving student achievement in this area.
