Summary:
The Edgerton Public School District has only one elementary school, Edgerton Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 209 students. While the district as a whole is ranked 219 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and rated 3 out of 5 stars, Edgerton Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state averages in both Math and Reading proficiency over the past two school years.
Edgerton Elementary has been ranked between 553 and 572 out of 845-881 Minnesota elementary schools in the past three school years and has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading were below the state averages for all grades, with the gap widening in 4th and 5th grades. While the school's 5th-grade Reading proficiency rate was higher than the state average in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, its overall academic performance remains a concern.
The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Edgerton Elementary, at 53.11% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to its academic underperformance. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1 could be a positive factor, though it does not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance could be a valuable area of focus for the district to support student success at Edgerton Elementary.
