Summary:
Greenway Public School District serves roughly 892 students across three schools: Vandyke Elementary for pre-K through grade 4, Greenway Middle for grades 5–8, and Greenway Senior High for grades 9–12. The district ranks 306th of 458 in Minnesota, in the 33rd percentile with a 2-star rating, and its 2025–2026 test scores fall below state averages in all three reported subjects — math at 41.6% versus 44.9%, reading at 39.7% versus 48.6%, and science at 20.0% versus 25.5%.
Each school has a distinct profile. Vandyke Elementary is the district's strongest math performer, with 49.3% all-grade math proficiency — above both the district and state — and a 3rd-grade math score of 59.1% that also beats the state's 57.9%. Greenway Senior High stands out for completion: a 96.4% graduation rate and a 1.7% dropout rate, far better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Greenway Middle shows sharp splits by grade level: its 5th-grade math (57.1%) and 6th-grade math (56.8%) are well above state averages, while its 7th- and 8th-grade results are far below.
Concerns are broad. Reading is a district-wide weakness — no school reached the state's 48.6% — and the high school's all-grade math proficiency was just 17.1%, about 28 points below the state. Greenway Middle's 8th-grade science score of 1.7% is a severe outlier against the state's 16.7%. All three schools also ended 2025–2026 below their 2023–2024 rank percentiles, landing between the 33rd and 38th percentiles. Most subjects declined year over year, with the high school's reading down about 13 points and its math down about 12.7 points; Greenway Middle's math was the one improvement, up 3.9 points.
