Best Public Schools in Ivanhoe, MN

Ivanhoe, Minnesota has just one school in this data set — Lincoln Elementary - Ivanhoe — a PK–6 elementary school serving the Ivanhoe Public School District, with 1 elementary school and no middle, high, or alternative schools in the city, so there are no in-city schools to compare against.

Lincoln Elementary enrolls 71 students and had a student-teacher ratio of 9.9 in 2024–2025, roughly one teacher for every ten students. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 22.54% in 2024–2025. The district ranks 194 of 458 (3 stars), and the school's current rank is 397 of 869, or the 54th percentile, also 3 stars. Because it is the only school in the district, district-level and school-level scores are identical. Rank history shows a decline: the school was in the 89th percentile in 2021–2022, the 73rd percentile in 2022–2023, and the 54th percentile in 2025–2026 — still above average, but below its earlier standing. No rank entries are provided for 2023–2024 or 2024–2025.

All-grade math and reading proficiency sit above the Minnesota state average in both reported years. In 2024–2025, reading was 72.22% versus 49.59% statewide and math was 63.89% versus 45.21%; in 2025–2026, math was 59.5% versus 44.9% and reading 62.2% versus 48.6%, so both subjects remain above state but declined year over year. Science is the reported weak spot: 18.18% versus 26.15% statewide in 2024–2025, the only all-grade year available, while the 2025–2026 science figure is suppressed and unknown. Reported 2025–2026 grade-level results are mixed — 3rd-grade math 58.3% vs. 57.9%, 6th-grade math 36.4% vs. 39.5%, 3rd-grade reading 41.7% vs. 46.8%, and 6th-grade reading 54.5% vs. 53.4% — with several 4th- and 5th-grade values suppressed by the state and therefore unknown. With only 71 students, percentages can swing widely from year to year, and suppression is not evidence of weak performance.
