Summary:
The 55804 zip code area of Duluth, Minnesota is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools in this area, with East High School and the two top-ranked elementary schools, Lester Park Elementary and Lakewood Elementary, standing out as the standout performers.
East High School is ranked 24th out of 480 Minnesota high schools, with consistently high test scores and a strong 92% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, the alternative school, Rockridge Academy, has the lowest test scores, a much lower 20% four-year graduation rate, and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 86.96%. The elementary schools, Lester Park and Lakewood, also stand out with their exceptional test scores and high rankings, suggesting a strong foundation for students in the early grades.
The racial makeup of the schools varies, with East High School being the most diverse and the elementary schools being predominantly White. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rates indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, particularly at Rockridge Academy and the elementary schools. These factors may play a role in the schools' performance and resource needs, and warrant further investigation to understand the underlying drivers of the observed differences.
