Summary:
The 55705 zip code area is served by two schools - Mesabi East Elementary and Mesabi East Secondary, both part of the Mesabi East School District. The elementary school serves grades PK-6 with 474 students, while the secondary school serves grades 7-12 with 415 students.
Mesabi East Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with below-average math proficiency but close-to-state-average reading and science scores. The secondary school also has a majority white student body and performs below state averages in math, but meets or exceeds state standards in reading and science. Both schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage in the community. The secondary school stands out with a strong 94.4% four-year graduation rate and low 1.3% dropout rate.
Overall, the two Mesabi East schools serving the 55705 zip code area are performing in the middle to lower range compared to other Minnesota schools, with the secondary school faring slightly better than the elementary school. Both have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor, but the schools face challenges in improving academic outcomes, particularly in math, for their predominantly white and economically disadvantaged student populations.
