Summary:
The 56634 zip code area is home to two schools - Clearbrook-Gonvick Elementary and Clearbrook-Gonvick Secondary, both part of the Clearbrook-Gonvick School District. While the elementary school has a relatively high percentage of Native American students, the secondary school boasts an above-average four-year graduation rate. However, both schools struggle with lower proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in math and reading, compared to state averages.
Clearbrook-Gonvick Elementary has a student population of 273, with 13.19% identifying as Native American, significantly higher than the state average. The school's science proficiency rates are strong, but its math and reading scores lag behind state benchmarks. In contrast, Clearbrook-Gonvick Secondary, with 196 students, has a 92.6% four-year graduation rate, outpacing the state average. However, the secondary school's math and reading proficiency rates are also below state levels, particularly in the higher grade levels.
Both schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, the stark difference in student-teacher ratios between the elementary (12.3) and secondary (21.7) schools may contribute to the widening achievement gap seen in the test score data as students progress through the grades. To address these challenges, the schools may need to focus on culturally-responsive teaching practices, targeted academic interventions, and ensuring adequate resources and support services for their students.
