Summary:
There is only one school located in the 56748 zip code, Red Lake County Central Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 201 students.
Red Lake County Central Elementary stands out for its exceptional 3rd grade academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state averages in both math (82.61% vs. 58.79%) and reading (78.26% vs. 46.54%). However, the school's proficiency rates decline in the upper elementary grades, particularly in math, with 5th grade math proficiency at only 25% compared to the state average of 44.14%. This indicates potential challenges in maintaining academic progress as students advance through the grades. The school's small enrollment of 201 students may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support, which could be leveraged to improve academic outcomes.
With over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Red Lake County Central Public School likely serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to the lower overall academic performance compared to state averages. While the school has some bright spots, its overall academic performance and state ranking of 517 out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools suggest there is room for improvement. Addressing the declining performance in higher grades and implementing targeted interventions could help the school better support student learning and achievement.
