Summary:
The 56714 zip code is home to two schools, Badger Secondary and Badger Elementary, both part of the Badger Public School District. While Badger Secondary is a high-performing high school, Badger Elementary's performance is more mixed, with strengths in certain grade levels and subjects but also areas needing improvement.
Badger Secondary stands out as a standout school, ranking in the top 20% of Minnesota high schools and maintaining a high 90% graduation rate. The school consistently outperforms the state average in several MCA-III test subjects, including reading and science. In contrast, Badger Elementary has a more diverse student population but demonstrates mixed results, excelling in 3rd grade math and 6th grade reading but struggling in 4th grade math and reading.
Both schools serve a student population with relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, suggesting the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement and the resources available to support these students. Additionally, the racial makeup of the schools, particularly the lack of diversity at Badger Secondary, may be an area worth exploring further to understand the schools' ability to serve a diverse student population.
