Summary:
The 59055 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Melville School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 32 students. Melville School has a 100% White student population and has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, from 59th out of 356 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 121st out of 329 in 2021-2022.
Academically, Melville School's performance is mixed, with significantly higher reading proficiency (83.33%) compared to the state average (46.03%), but lower mathematics proficiency (27.78%) than the state average (36.59%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.6 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $11,725 is relatively high, suggesting a focus on personalized attention and resources for students. However, without data on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate, it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may impact the school's performance.
Overall, Melville Elementary appears to be a small, rural school with some strengths, such as high reading proficiency, but also areas for improvement, particularly in mathematics. The school's lack of racial diversity and fluctuating statewide ranking indicate the need for further analysis to understand the school's context and strategies for supporting student learning.
