Summary:
The 10 schools in zip code 55987 serve students from elementary through high school, with a mix of traditional public schools and public charter schools. The schools are part of the Winona Area Public School District, except for Bluffview Montessori and Riverway Learning Community Charter, which are public charter schools.
Among the standout schools, Bluffview Montessori consistently performs at the top, ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars. It has the highest proficiency rates in math, reading, and science across all grades. Goodview Elementary and Jefferson Elementary also perform very well, ranking in the top 15% and 40% of Minnesota elementary schools, respectively.
In contrast, the middle and high schools in the area, such as Winona Middle and Winona Senior High, tend to perform below the state averages in math, reading, and science proficiency. This suggests a potential achievement gap as students progress through the education system. Additionally, schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, like Washington-Kosciusko Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance, indicating a correlation between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes.
