Summary:
Mazeppa, Minnesota has just one listed public school — Zumbrota-Mazeppa Elementary School — an elementary campus serving grades 3–6 with 349 students in the Zumbrota-Mazeppa School District. The area summary counts 1 elementary, 0 middle, 0 high, and 0 alternative schools, so the city itself has no listed middle or high school campus; students likely continue elsewhere in the district for other grade levels.
That single school is a strong performer. It ranked 95th of 869 Minnesota schools in 2025-26 (89th percentile, 4 stars), after 91st of 872 in 2024-25 (90th percentile, 4 stars) and 71st of 881 in 2023-24 (92nd percentile, 5 stars). The district ranks 36th of 458 (92nd percentile, 5 stars). All-grade proficiency beats the state clearly: math 72.6% vs 44.9%, reading 63.9% vs 48.6%, and science 47.3% vs 25.5%. Math is the standout, and its advantage widens in the upper grades — 3rd grade 70.6%, 4th grade 68.5%, 5th grade 72.5%, and 6th grade 79.3%, which is 39.8 points above the state.
Reading is strong overall but uneven: 3rd grade 60.8%, 5th grade 75.6%, and 6th grade 73.6%, all well above the state, while 4th grade reading is 46.1% versus the state's 48.8% — the only below-state result and the clearest area for attention. Fifth-grade science is 47.3%, more than 21 points above the state. Year over year, all-grade math slipped 1.74 points and reading 2.86 points, and science fell 10.72 points, though that science comparison is not perfectly like-for-like. Free/reduced lunch is 28.94% and the student-teacher ratio is 13.7 — a moderate context for these results. The main watch item is the rank drift from 5 stars to 4.
