Summary:

Eveleth, Minnesota is served by a single public school — Laurentian Elementary, a PK–6 building with 488 students in the Rock Ridge Public Schools district — so families here have one elementary option, and the city lists no middle or high school, meaning older students attend secondary schools elsewhere in the district.

On state tests, Laurentian Elementary outperforms both its district and the state in every subject, in both years on file. In 2025-2026, 57.6% of students met standards in math (state 44.9%), 64.0% in reading (state 48.6%), and 34.9% in science (state 25.5%) — margins of 12.7, 15.4, and 9.4 points. The school gained ground in all three subjects while the state declined in all three. It ranked 170th of 869 ranked Minnesota schools (80th percentile) with a 4-star rating, its best of three reported years, placing it above its own district, which sits at the 72nd percentile.

Grade-level results show where the strengths sit. Fourth grade is the standout, with reading at 73.4% and math at 71.9%, both well above state averages, and reading is especially strong in grades 4 through 6. Two areas are worth watching: 3rd grade reading (47.7%) is the only measure in the record where the school trails its district, and middle-grade math (46.8% in 5th grade, 49.4% in 6th) is above state but well behind the school's own reading scores. About 42% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a context figure the file offers without a state benchmark for comparison, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.5 looks conventional.
