Summary:
La Crescent-Hokah School District is a small Minnesota district serving roughly 998 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–4, 359 students), one middle school (5–8, 311 students), and one high school (9–12, 328 students) — with no alternative schools in the listing. As a district it ranks 66th of 458 in the state, in the 86th percentile with 4 stars, and all three schools improved their percentile rank in 2025–26.
The academic standout is La Crescent-Hokah Elementary, which ranks in the 85th percentile with 4 stars and posts math proficiency of 71.5% and reading of 62.0%, both well above district (45.2% and 54.3%) and state (44.9% and 48.6%) averages; third-grade math reaches 81.8% against a state figure of 57.9%. La Crescent Senior High also ranks in the 85th percentile with 4 stars, up sharply from the 41st percentile a year earlier, with a 98.7% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate versus the state's 84.9% and 4.2%, and science proficiency of 45.9% against 25.5% statewide. Its all-grade math rose from 15.38% to 41.8%, a 26.4-point gain that still sits slightly below district and state.
La Crescent-Hokah Middle School is the district's academic weak point, though it improved to the 59th percentile with 3 stars. Its math (34.8%) and science (21.5%) trail district and state, and math is below the state average in every grade from 5th through 8th. Reading is comparatively stronger across the district at all three schools. Because enrollments are small, percentages can swing considerably from year to year, and the reading exam label changed between years, so those comparisons may not be perfectly like-for-like.
