Summary:
Edgerton, Minnesota is a small city served by two public schools — Edgerton Secondary (grades 6–12, enrollment 228) and Edgerton Elementary (grades PK–5, enrollment 209) — both part of the Edgerton Public School District, which ranks 254th of 458 Minnesota districts, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars. Together the two schools enroll 437 students.
Edgerton Secondary is the stronger of the two. In 2025–2026 it ranked 203rd of 473 schools, at the 57th percentile with 3 stars, after a standout 2024–2025 at 113th of 450, the 75th percentile with 4 stars, and a weaker 2023–2024 at 1 star. Its 11th-grade math score of 50% is well above the state's 35.3%, and 6th-grade reading at 57.1% exceeds the state's 53.4%. It also posted a 0.0% dropout rate for 2024–2025 versus Minnesota's 4.2%. Still, it trails the state in overall Math (41.7% vs. 44.9%), Reading (39.1% vs. 48.6%), and Science (21% vs. 25.5%).
Edgerton Elementary is the greater concern, ranking 649th of 869 in 2025–2026, at the 25th percentile with 1 star, down from 2 stars in each of the prior two years. Its science proficiency is just 3.7% against the state's 25.5%, and 5th grade is alarmingly low: math 3.7% and science 3.7% versus state rates of 41.9% and 25.9%, while 5th-grade reading is 40.7%. Bright spots include 4th-grade math at 53.3% and 3rd-grade reading at 46.9%. Because both schools are small, year-to-year results can swing widely, so families should watch multi-year trends rather than a single year.
