Summary:
Cohasset, Minnesota is served by a single school: Cohasset Elementary, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 312 students. It belongs to the Grand Rapids Public School District, which ranks 202 of 458 districts in Minnesota — the 56th percentile, with 3 stars. Because there is only one school in the area, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own prior years. Context figures include a free/reduced-lunch rate of 31.73% in 2024–2025 and a student-teacher ratio of 18.3.
Overall, Cohasset Elementary performs above both its district and the state in math and reading for 2025–2026. Math proficiency is 54.4%, versus 45.0% in the district and 44.9% statewide. Reading is 61.3%, versus 55.2% in the district and 48.6% statewide. Grade 4 is especially strong: 78.4% proficient in math and 76.9% in reading, well above state averages. Grade 3 also beats district and state in both subjects. Science is the exception — 21.4%, below the district's 25.6% and the state's 25.5%.
The averages hide a real split. Grade 5 is below district and state in every tested subject: 23.2% in math, 45.5% in reading, and 21.4% in science. Science also fell sharply from 43.75% in 2024–2025 to 21.4% in 2025–2026, a drop of 22.35 percentage points, while math and reading were essentially stable. The school's rank has slipped from the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 64th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026. Even so, it remains above the median and above its district, with strong early-elementary results and a clear need for support in grade 5.
