Summary:

The four schools in Twin Valley include two elementary schools serving PK–6 and two junior/senior high schools serving grades 7–12; enrollment ranges from 69 to 235 students. Across the schools, average math and science proficiency is above the state rate, while ELA is below it: 42% versus 41% in math, 43% versus 38% in science, and 40% versus 46% in ELA. The most important takeaway is that strong results are concentrated in particular schools and subjects, rather than shared consistently across the area.

Bennington Elementary leads in ELA, with 54% proficiency—11 percentage points above the next school and 8 points above the state. Tescott Elementary leads in math at 49%, 3 points above the next school, and in science at 65%, 21 points above the next school and 27 above the state. At the other end, Tescott Junior High/High School has the lowest ELA result, 29%—17 points below the state. Bennington Junior High/High School has the lowest math result at 35%, while Bennington Elementary has the lowest science result at 29%. Grade-level results also differ: Tescott Elementary leads Bennington Elementary in grade 5 across all three subjects, but Bennington leads in grade 6 ELA and math.

Results fell on average from 2024–25 to 2025–26: 9 percentage points in ELA, 7 in math, and 7 in science, while state ELA and math results rose by 1 and 2 points. Tescott Junior High/High School had the largest declines, including 31 points in science; Tescott Elementary’s science result instead rose 19 points. SchoolDigger’s latest rankings are mixed: Tescott Elementary is at the 56th percentile and Bennington Elementary at the 54th, compared with the 39th percentile for Tescott Junior High/High School and 26th for Bennington Junior High/High School. Context also varies: Tescott Elementary has 69 students, a 6.6 student–teacher ratio, and a 77% free/reduced-lunch rate; Bennington Elementary has 235 students, a 12.1 ratio, and a 43% rate. Chronic absenteeism ranges from 7% at Bennington Elementary to 28% at Tescott Junior High/High School. These figures describe contrasts, not what causes them.
