Summary:
Leroy-Ostrander Public Schools is a small Minnesota district in Le Roy with two schools — Leroy Elementary serving grades PK–6 and Leroy Secondary serving grades 7–12 — enrolling about 258 students total. The Leroy-Ostrander Public Schools district is ranked 317 of 458, in the 31st percentile with 2 stars, placing it in the bottom third of Minnesota districts in this data.
The two schools are moving in opposite directions. Leroy Secondary jumped from 1 star and the 24th percentile in 2023–2024 to 3 stars and the 65th percentile in 2025–2026 (164 of 473), a 41-point percentile gain. It also posted a 100% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, far above the state’s 84.9% and 4.2%. Meanwhile, Leroy Elementary fell from 2 stars and the 31st percentile to 1 star and the 17th percentile (722 of 869), a 14-point drop. The district’s overall 31st percentile masks this internal divergence, so parents should look at each school separately.
Test scores show the district is below state averages in every subject: math 29.7% vs. 44.9%, reading 26.6% vs. 48.6%, and science 18.9% vs. 25.5%. Elementary reading is a major weakness (25.0% vs. 48.6%), with every reported grade below state, including 6th grade at 15.4% vs. 53.4%. Elementary science is also low (11.8% vs. 25.5%), though 3rd-grade math (50%) and 4th-grade math (40%) are bright spots. Secondary has strengths in 10th-grade reading (44.4% vs. 42.5%) and End-of-Course science (38.9% vs. 35.0%), but weak middle grades: 7th-grade reading is 0% and 8th-grade science is 5.6%. With only 138 secondary and 120 elementary students, percentages can swing sharply year to year. Elementary also has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.2) than secondary (17.2) despite a higher free/reduced lunch rate (40.83% vs. 26.81%). Note that reading is labeled MCA-IV in 2025–2026 but MCA-III in 2024–2025, which may affect year-over-year comparisons.
