Chokio-Alberta Public Schools

Chokio-Alberta Public Schools is a small Minnesota district with two schools: Chokio-Alberta Elementary (PK–6, 73 students) and Chokio-Alberta Secondary (7–12, 69 students), for 142 students total. No middle or alternative school is listed. The district ranks 305 of 458 schools, in the 33rd percentile with 2 stars, and both schools share that district rank. Free/reduced lunch is nearly identical at both schools (43.84% elementary and 43.48% secondary), while student-teacher ratios are 6.4 elementary and 9.2 secondary. Some grade-level test cells are suppressed by the state with “—”; those are unknown, not zero.

Chokio-Alberta Elementary has the clearest bright spot: reading. Its 2025-26 all-grades reading is 50.0% school vs 40.7% district and 48.6% state; in 2024-25 it was 52.94% vs 44.44% district and 49.59% state. Fourth-grade reading is 53.8% vs 48.8% state, and fourth-grade math is close to state at 53.8% vs 55.2%. All-grades math is below state at 42.1% vs 44.9%, and elementary science is suppressed at the school level. Elementary rank history is volatile: 1 star in 2021-22, 3 stars in 2023-24, then 2 stars in 2025-26. Chokio-Alberta Secondary stands out for completion: graduation rate is 100.0% school/district vs 84.9% state, and dropout rate is 0.0% vs 4.2% state. But its 2025-26 academic rank is 344 of 473, 27th percentile, 1 star, down from 143 of 450, 68th percentile, 3 stars in 2024-25.

Secondary test scores are weaker: 2025-26 math 36.7% vs 44.9% state; reading 23.8% vs 48.6% state; science 8.7% vs 25.5% state. In 2024-25, secondary reading was 34.48% vs 49.59% state, and science was 8.33% vs 26.15% state. District-wide science is the weakest reported subject: 6.9% in 2025-26 and 14.29% in 2024-25, both far below state. Elementary reading is the only school-level subject that exceeds state in both reported all-grades years. Suppression is common because of small cohorts, so one or two students can shift percentages sharply. Overall, the district is mixed: below state in reported math, reading, and science, with elementary reading as the exception, matching its 2-star, 33rd-percentile rank.
