Summary:

The Ellsworth Public School District is a small district in Minnesota, consisting of two schools: Ellsworth Elementary and Ellsworth Secondary. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Ellsworth Elementary stands out as the high-performing school in the district, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency. In 2024-2025, 60% of Ellsworth Elementary students were proficient or better in math, compared to 50.68% for the district and 45.21% statewide. The school also has a higher percentage of students proficient in reading and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its strong academic performance. Additionally, Ellsworth Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio and a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting more individualized attention and a relatively more advantaged student population.

In contrast, Ellsworth Secondary lags behind, particularly in science, with test scores that fall short of the district and state averages. The school has a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger and a higher percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The stark performance difference between the elementary and secondary schools suggests the importance of building a solid academic foundation in the early grades and maintaining that success as students transition to the secondary level.
