Summary:
Miltona, Minnesota has one reported school in this data set: Miltona Elementary, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 126 students, and it is part of the Alexandria Public School District. Because Miltona has no reported middle, high, or alternative schools in this data set, city-level figures reflect this one school, so any comparisons are really between Miltona Elementary, its district, and the state.
Miltona Elementary is the standout school by default, but it also stands out on its own. In 2025–2026, it ranked 19th out of 869 ranked Minnesota schools, placing it in the 98th percentile, or roughly the top 2%, with 5 stars. That was its highest rank in the three years shown, after ranking 106th of 872 in 2024–2025 and 44th of 881 in 2023–2024. The school also outperformed both its district and the state in every reported subject at the all-grade level. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 84.3% in Math, 75.7% in Reading, and 57.1% in Science, compared with district figures of 54.8%, 55.3%, and 31.1%, and state figures of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%.
Grade-level results were strong as well: 4th Grade Math reached 92%, 5th Grade Math was 81%, and 3rd Grade Math was 79.2%. Reading showed the largest year-over-year gain, rising from 60.32% to 75.7%, an increase of 15.38 points, while Math rose 6.52 points and Science rose 11.27 points. Science had the lowest absolute proficiency at 57.1%, but it was still 26.0 points above the district and 31.6 points above the state. Math was the strongest subject overall, with the largest all-grade advantage over the state at +39.4 points. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch rate was 17.46%, and the student-teacher ratio was 15.5; these are school-level context only because the data set does not provide district or state comparisons for them. Ranking has fluctuated, which is common in a small school where a few students can shift percentages, but the latest year remains very high.
