Summary:
The 55808 zip code in Duluth, Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, Stowe Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind both the Duluth Public School District and the state of Minnesota as a whole.
Stowe Elementary's student population is predominantly white, with a significant percentage of students identifying as two or more races. However, the school has a high percentage of students (69.87%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may contribute to the school's struggles, as its proficiency rates in math, reading, and science are all significantly lower than the district and state averages.
The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, from 616th out of 858 Minnesota elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 713th out of 881 in 2023-2024. While the low student-teacher ratio could be a positive factor, the data suggests that Stowe Elementary may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gaps with its peers.
