Summary:
The 55722 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Greenway Public School District. While Vandyke Elementary stands out with strong academic performance, the middle and high schools in the district face challenges in meeting state averages for test scores.
Vandyke Elementary has a relatively high percentage of proficient or better students in both Math (56.69%) and Reading (49.61%) on the MCA-III assessments, outperforming the district and state averages. This could be attributed to its lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5. In contrast, Greenway Senior High lags behind the state averages in Math (22.45% proficient or better) and Reading (42.03% proficient or better), despite having an impressive 96.8% four-year graduation rate.
Across all three schools, the 55722 zip code area faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients ranging from 57.19% to 59.6%. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes, particularly at the middle and high school levels. While Greenway Senior High excels in graduation rates, the district as a whole has room for improvement in academic performance to better serve the needs of the community.
