Summary:
The Creekstone Montessori Charter district contains just one school: Creekstone Montessori, at 5225 Highway 61 W in Red Wing, Minnesota. It is counted as one elementary school, with no middle, high, or alternative schools in the district, though it actually serves grades PK–8 and enrolls 122 students. Because district results match school results on every non-suppressed test record, this is effectively a single-school district — district numbers mirror the school. For context, 17.21% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-25, and the student/teacher ratio was 15.6.
Science is the standout subject. All-grade science proficiency is 50%, about double the statewide 25.5%, and the only reported grade-level science result — 5th grade at 50% — is far above the state's 25.9%. Fifth-grade reading is another bright spot at 66.7% versus 54.5% statewide, and all-grade reading (48%) sits essentially at the state level (48.6%). Math is the weakest area: all-grade math is 34% versus 44.9% statewide, and every reported grade level trails its state comparison — 3rd grade 31.6% vs 57.9%, 4th grade 42.9% vs 55.2%, and 5th grade 33.3% vs 41.9%. Still, math improved sharply from 17.39% in 2024-25 to 34% in 2025-26, while the state average stayed nearly flat near 45%, narrowing the gap from roughly -27.8 points to -10.9 points. Reading slipped slightly year over year, from 51.06% to 48%, with a wide spread by grade: 3rd-grade reading is 31.6% vs 46.8% statewide, while 5th grade is well above state.
The school's ranking trend is upward: from 674 of 881 (23rd percentile, 1 star) in 2023-24, to 593 of 872 (32nd percentile, 2 stars), to 507 of 869 (42nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025-26 — a 167-position gain in two years. The district rank is 283 of 458 (38th percentile, 2 stars). Note that the state suppressed 6th-grade math and reading results for 2025-26 and all-grade science for 2024-25; those values are unknown and should not be read as low performance. With only 122 students, small cohort changes can swing percentages noticeably, so single-year or single-grade results deserve caution.
