Summary:
Glacial Hills Elementary is the only school in this area, serving grades PK–6 with 97 students in Starbuck, Minnesota. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools listed locally, and it operates within the Glacial Hills Elementary district. Because there are no nearby peers to compare against, the most useful benchmarks are Minnesota state averages and the school's own prior-year results.
In 2025–2026, the school fell below state averages in both reported subjects: Math was 30.2% against the state's 44.9%, and Reading was 27.9% against the state's 48.6%, a 20.7 percentage-point gap. Grade-level results were similarly below state figures, including 3rd grade Reading at 5.6% versus the state's 46.8%, 3rd grade Math at 27.8%, and 4th grade Math at 23.1%. This reverses 2024–2025, when Math was 64.1% (well above the state's 45.21%) and Reading was 51.28% (slightly above the state's 49.59%). Reflecting that swing, the school's rank moved from the 58th percentile with 3 stars to the 11th percentile with 1 star.
Some context matters for reading these numbers. In 2024–2025, 51.55% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was a low 8.8. Science results for all grades, plus Math and Reading for 5th and 6th grades, are suppressed by the state, meaning those figures are unknown rather than zero. With only 97 students across seven grade levels, each cohort is very small, so one year's percentages can shift dramatically and should not be read as a settled trend.
