Summary:
The 56164 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with varying levels of academic performance and socioeconomic challenges.
Pipestone Elementary stands out as the largest school in the area, with 519 students and a relatively diverse student body. It has performed well on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the Pipestone Area School District and state averages. In contrast, Pipestone Middle School and the alternative schools, SWWC Alternative Learning Center - Pipestone and SWWC ELC - Pipestone, struggle with lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state.
The schools in the 56164 zip code serve a significant population of students from low-income families, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 38.82% to 67.65%. This suggests that the schools face socioeconomic challenges that may impact their academic performance. While Pipestone Senior High has a graduation rate slightly below the state average, the alternative schools face even greater challenges, with very low academic outcomes. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support the diverse student population in this area and promote equitable educational opportunities.
