Summary:
The 56544 zip code in Minnesota is home to two schools: Frazee Elementary and Frazee Secondary, both part of the Frazee-Vergas Public School District. While Frazee Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages on academic assessments and maintains a high state ranking, Frazee Secondary has struggled, with declining test scores and a drop in its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Frazee Elementary stands out as the top-performing school in the area, with 61.6% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 47.17% for the district and 45.47% statewide. The school also has a higher ranking within the state, placing in the top 27% of Minnesota elementary schools. Factors contributing to Frazee Elementary's success may include its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and its diverse student population, with 53.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
In contrast, Frazee Secondary lags behind state averages in Math and Reading, and its statewide ranking has declined from 209th out of 472 Minnesota high schools in 2021-2022 to 379th out of 480 in 2023-2024. The school's higher student-teacher ratio of 17.9 may be a contributing factor to its lower academic outcomes. However, Frazee Secondary does maintain a respectable 90.3% four-year graduation rate, though its 4.8% dropout rate is slightly higher than the state average.
