Best Public Schools in Zip Code 56201


Summary:

The 56201 zip code area of Willmar, Minnesota is home to 11 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. This diverse set of educational institutions serves a student population with significant racial and socioeconomic diversity, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the community.

Among the standout schools in the area, Willmar Middle School and Kennedy Elementary demonstrate relatively strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in math and reading above the district and state averages. In contrast, the Willmar Area Learning Center, an alternative high school, struggles with low proficiency rates but maintains a higher-than-average graduation rate for alternative schools.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the schools, which are likely linked to the high rates of economic disadvantage observed in the student population. Schools with the highest percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, such as Prairie Lakes Education Center, tend to have lower proficiency rates. This underscores the importance of targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students within the Willmar Public School District and the broader Technical Academies Of Minnesota and Region 6 and 8-SW/Wc Service Coop districts.
