Summary:
The 56026 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Nrheg Elementary, which serves students from the Nrheg School District. While Nrheg Elementary has a predominantly white student population, it faces challenges with lower-than-average test scores in reading and science compared to the state, as well as a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Nrheg Elementary's strengths lie in its math proficiency, particularly in the 3rd and 5th grades, where students outperform the district and state averages. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school and district may need to focus their efforts on improving student outcomes, especially in reading and science, while also addressing potential equity concerns related to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's overall academic performance being below the state average, Nrheg Elementary benefits from a relatively small class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.5, which is lower than the state average. This smaller class size could be an asset in the school's efforts to improve student learning and address the identified areas of concern.
