Summary:
Greenway Middle is the only middle school in the Greenway Public School District, so it is the sole middle-level option for families in and around Coleraine, Minnesota. The school serves grades 5–8 with 244 students and is rated 2 stars by SchoolDigger. The district as a whole ranks 306 out of 458 Minnesota districts, placing it at the 33rd percentile, also with a 2-star rating.
The school's results split sharply by grade. Fifth- and sixth-grade math are clear strengths: 57.1% of 5th graders and 56.8% of 6th graders were proficient, which is 15.2 and 17.3 points above the state averages. Sixth-grade reading (59.1%) and 5th-grade science (31.2%) also beat the state. The picture reverses in the upper grades. Seventh-grade reading was 21.4% proficient, 22.1 points below the state, and 7th-grade math (25.0%) fell 15.3 points behind. Eighth grade struggled in all subjects: math at 22.0% (20.3 points below state), reading at 30.5% (19.5 points below), and science at just 1.7% proficient versus 16.7% statewide — the most urgent gap in the data.
Across all grades, math improved from 36.77% to 40.7% proficiency between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, but reading slipped from 42.22% to 40.3% and science from 21.21% to 18.5%. The school remains below the state in every all-grade subject: math by 4.2 points, reading by 8.3 points, and science by 7.0 points. Its statewide percentile rank has also declined, from 48 in 2023–2024 to 39 and then 33, while holding at 2 stars. About 51.64% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 15.7. For parents, the takeaway is strong early-grade math and 6th-grade reading, with 7th/8th grade math, 7th/8th grade reading, and 8th-grade science as the areas needing the most attention.
