Summary:
The 55760 zip code is home to two schools: McGregor Elementary and McGregor Secondary, both part of the McGregor Public School District. While McGregor Elementary appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking and better test scores, the secondary school struggles, particularly in math, with only 11.11% of 11th graders proficient or better compared to the state average of 34.99%.
Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, over 60%, indicating socioeconomic challenges in the community. The elementary school also has a higher Native American student population at 22.32%, an interesting demographic factor that could warrant further exploration. Additionally, the difference in student-teacher ratios, with the elementary school having a lower ratio of 9.9 compared to the secondary school's 16.5, may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools.
Overall, the data highlights the need for the McGregor Public School District to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance disparities between the elementary and secondary schools, and to implement targeted strategies to improve outcomes at the high school level, ensuring all students in the 55760 zip code have access to a quality education.
