Summary:
Schools in Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton (DGF) serve roughly 1,535 students across four schools spanning prekindergarten through 12th grade: Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Elementary (PK–4, 555 students), Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Middle School (5–8, 508), Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Senior High (9–12, 449), and the small Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton ALP (9–12, 23). The Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton district ranks 164 of 458 in Minnesota — the 64th percentile with 3 stars — but that above-median average hides large differences among its schools.
Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Senior High is the academic flagship, ranking 86 of 473 (82nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 and 45 of 480 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024. Its graduation rate is 92.3%, above the district's 91.2% and the state's 84.9%, and its science proficiency is 44.1% against a state figure of 25.5%. Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Elementary is a math standout — 57.9% in all-grades math and 67% in 3rd grade — yet trails the state in reading at 43.1% versus 48.6%. Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Middle School shows the opposite pattern: reading is a bright spot at 50.7%, above the state, while math (29.6%) and science (10%) fall well below both district and state.
Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton ALP, with only 23 students, has most test scores suppressed by the state, so its academics should be treated as unknown rather than weak; its 60.87% free/reduced-price lunch rate is the highest reported, and its 80.0% graduation rate sits below district and state. The biggest district story is variation — a 34.1-point science gap between the senior high and middle school, and a middle school that slipped from the 70th to the 46th percentile.
