Best Public Schools in Glyndon, MN

Glyndon, Minnesota has three schools — all part of the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton district and all sharing one campus address at 513 Parke Ave S — and together they serve the upper grades: Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Middle School for grades 5–8 with 508 students, Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Senior High for grades 9–12 with 449 students, and Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton ALP, also listed as a high school, with just 23 students. Combined enrollment is 980 students, and no elementary schools appear in this list. The Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton district ranks 164th of 458 in Minnesota, at the 64th percentile with 3 stars — but that average hides very different results from school to school.

Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Senior High is the standout, ranking 86th of 473 schools at the 82nd percentile with 4 stars, down from the 91st percentile and 5 stars in 2023–2024. Its science results are exceptional: 44.1% proficient in 2025–2026 versus 20.1% district and 25.5% state, and 51.82% in 2024–2025 versus 26.15% state. Its graduation rate is 92.3%, above the district's 91.2% and the state's 84.9%. Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Middle School is more mixed, with reading a bright spot at 50.7% (above district 48.2% and state 48.6%), but math at 29.6% and science at 10.0%, both well below state. Its rank fell to the 46th percentile with 2 stars, from the 70th percentile and 3 stars the year before.

Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton ALP serves a much smaller, higher-poverty group, with 60.87% free/reduced lunch versus 33.07% at the middle school and 22.27% at the senior high. Its graduation rate is 80.0%, below district and state, while its dropout rate is 0.0%; its test scores are suppressed by the state because of its size, so they should not be read as zero or as a weakness. Note also that the senior high is not above state in everything — reading was 46.7% in 2025–2026, slightly below the state's 48.6%. Because all three schools sit on one campus and the list begins at grade 5, this captures the upper-grade portion of the district rather than a full K–12 picture.
