Summary:
Sebeka, Minnesota has exactly one elementary school, Sebeka Elementary, which serves grades PK–6 with 218 students in the Sebeka Public School District. The school is located in a rural community, has a student-teacher ratio of 9.9, and reports a free/reduced lunch rate of 61.93%. Statewide, it ranked 371 of 869 elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 57th percentile with 3 stars; the district also ranked 199 of 458, 57th percentile, 3 stars.
The strongest results are in the lower elementary grades. In 2025–2026, the school outperformed both its district and the state in all-grade math (49.6% proficient vs. 45.6% and 44.9%), reading (52.3% vs. 48.2% and 48.6%), and science (29% vs. 20% and 25.5%). Third-grade math reached 78.8% proficient—about 20.9 points above the state’s 57.9%—while fourth-grade math was 75.9% (about 20.7 points above the state’s 55.2%) and fourth-grade reading was 72.4% (about 23.6 points above the state’s 48.8%).
The main concern is the upper elementary grades, where proficiency falls below state levels: fifth-grade math was 19.4% vs. 41.9%, sixth-grade math was 27.8% vs. 39.5%, fifth-grade reading was 45.2% vs. 54.5%, and sixth-grade reading was 44.4% vs. 53.4%. Science has been volatile—22.22% in 2024–2025, below state, then 29% in 2025–2026, above state—likely reflecting a single 5th-grade cohort. The school’s rank slipped from the 65th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 57th percentile in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, though it remains above average with 3 stars. Because each grade has a small cohort, year-to-year changes should be read with caution.
