Summary:
The 56630 zip code is home to two schools, Blackduck Elementary and Blackduck Secondary, which serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. While both schools face challenges, the data suggests that Blackduck Secondary is the standout performer, with a higher statewide ranking, a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, and better graduation and dropout rates compared to the elementary school.
However, both schools struggle with low proficiency rates on standardized tests, with most grades and subjects falling well below state averages. Additionally, both schools have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The elementary school also has a notably high percentage of Native American students, which could be an important factor to explore further.
The data also reveals differences in student-teacher ratios, with Blackduck Elementary having a lower ratio of 14.2 compared to 20.3 at Blackduck Secondary. This could suggest a need to examine the continuity of instruction and support systems between the two schools, as well as the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement within the Blackduck Public School District.
