Best Public Schools in Zip Code 56368

Summary:

The 56368 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Richmond Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 133 students. Richmond Elementary is part of the Rocori Public School District, which is ranked 198 out of 463 school districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating.

Richmond Elementary appears to be a standout school in the area, with a strong performance history. The school has received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2021-2022 school year, though its rating has since dropped to 4 stars in 2022-2023 and 2 stars in 2023-2024. The school's student population is predominantly white (81.95%), with a diverse mix of Hispanic (7.52%) and African American (2.26%) students. Richmond Elementary has generally performed well on state assessments, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in Math and Reading compared to the district and state averages. However, there has been a noticeable decline in performance, particularly in Math and Science, from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024.

The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 to 1 may contribute to its strong academic performance, but the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (29.32%) suggests that the school may be serving a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could have implications for the resources and support needed to ensure student success. Overall, Richmond Elementary appears to be a high-performing school, but the recent decline in performance is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
