Summary:
The Glenville-Emmons School District in southern Minnesota contains just one elementary school: Glenville Emmons Elementary in Glenville, MN. It serves grades PK through 6, with 132 students enrolled, a 46.21% free/reduced lunch rate, and an 11.1 student-to-teacher ratio. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, families have no in-district elementary alternative — the most useful comparisons are to the district average, to the state, and to the school's own past performance.
In 2025–2026, Glenville Emmons Elementary outperformed district averages in all three tested subjects: math 29% vs. 24.4%, reading 33.8% vs. 27.5%, and science 17.4% vs. 10.3%. It still trailed the state in every subject, by 15.9 points in math, 14.8 points in reading, and 8.1 points in science. 4th grade is the standout: 61.5% proficient in math (above the state's 55.2%) and 53.8% in reading (above the state's 48.8%) — the only grade level beating the state in either subject. 6th grade math is the deepest concern at 6.7% proficient versus 39.5% statewide. Year over year, math fell from 39.44% to 29% and reading dipped from 36.62% to 33.8%, while science improved from 10.53% to 17.4%.
The school ranks 671 of 869 Minnesota schools — 23rd percentile, 1 star — down from 600 of 872 (31st percentile, 2 stars) the prior year and only slightly above its 2023–2024 result. With just 132 students spread across seven grades, each grade-level figure rests on a small group and can swing widely from one year to the next, so single-year changes should be read with caution. Overall, the school generally beats its own district but sits below the state, with 4th grade as its brightest spot and 6th grade math as its most urgent need.
