Ivanhoe Public School District

Ivanhoe Public School District in Minnesota contains just one school, Lincoln Elementary - Ivanhoe, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 71 students. Because the district has only this one school, district-level test scores are identical to the school's scores, so the useful comparison for parents is between this school and Minnesota state averages rather than between schools in the area. It is a small school, with a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 9.9 and 22.54% of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Where the state shows a dash, the figure was suppressed to protect student privacy, so it is unknown rather than evidence of poor performance.

The strongest story here is Math and Reading. In 2025–2026, All Grades Math was 59.5% proficient versus the state's 44.9%, and Reading was 62.2% versus 48.6%. In 2024–2025 the gap was even wider: Math at 63.89% versus 45.21% and Reading at 72.22% versus 49.59%. Both subjects remain comfortably above state in the most recent year, though scores did slip somewhat — Math by about 4.4 points and Reading by about 10 points. Grade-level results are more mixed: 3rd Grade Math was essentially at state (58.3% vs. 57.9%) and 6th Grade Reading slightly above (54.5% vs. 53.4%), while 6th Grade Math (36.4% vs. 39.5%) and 3rd Grade Reading (41.7% vs. 46.8%) were below state. Notably, the All Grades figures are higher than every reported grade-level result in both subjects, and 4th and 5th grade results are suppressed, so those grades cannot be evaluated from this data.

Two cautions are worth noting. In 2024–2025, All Grades Science was 18.18% versus the state's 26.15%, below state by about 8 points; for 2025–2026, both All Grades and 5th Grade Science are suppressed, so the current science picture is unknown. The school's ranking also softened over time — from the 89th percentile (4 stars) in 2021–2022 to the 73rd percentile (4 stars) in 2022–2023 and 54th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 — even while Math and Reading stayed above state. The district itself ranks 194 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars.
