Summary:
Little Falls, Minnesota has 9 schools — 3 elementary, 2 middle, 3 high, and 1 alternative — serving roughly 2,347 students across two districts: Little Falls Community Schools (5 schools, 2,305 students, about 98.2% of the area total) and Mid-State Education District (4 very small specialized programs totaling 42 students). Enrollment is highly concentrated: the four largest schools — Little Falls Senior High (747 students), Community Middle, Lincoln Elementary, and Lindbergh Elementary — educate over 93% of the area's students. The smallest schools, SUN Program and WIN-Elementary School, each enroll 9 students.
Lindbergh Elementary is the math standout, with all-grades math proficiency of 53.2%, above the district's 40.5% and the state's 44.9%; its 3rd and 4th grade math results also beat the state, though 5th grade math (35.2%) and science (18.2%) lag. Little Falls Senior High shines in science at 39.9% (versus district 25% and state 25.5%) and in graduation, at 90.8% versus the district's 79.9% and the state's 84.9%, with a 4.8% dropout rate; its rank climbed from the 34th to the 69th percentile. Little Falls Continuing Education looks very different: 112 students, 3.2% math, a 41.5% graduation rate, an 11.3% dropout rate, and the area's highest student-teacher ratio at 25.7.
The four Mid-State schools are tiny, with student-teacher ratios from 2.0 to 4.4 and mostly suppressed test scores, so their performance cannot be judged from this data. Science is a weak spot elsewhere: Community Middle reported 16%, Lindbergh 18.2%, and Continuing Education 16.7%, all below the state's 25.5%. Free/reduced lunch does not track neatly with achievement — Lindbergh has 45.67% FRL yet the strongest math, while Little Falls Senior High's 33.33% pairs with strong science but lower math and reading. Lincoln Elementary has no test scores (it serves PK-2), and several schools have suppressed values, so comparisons should be made cautiously.
