Summary:
The Littlefork-Big Falls School District contains just one elementary school, Littlefork-Big Falls Elementary, so it serves as the district's entire elementary offering. Located at 700 Main St in Littlefork, MN, the school serves grades PK–6 with an enrollment of 216 students. Nearly 44% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 18 to 1. The district itself ranks 248th of 458 districts statewide, at the 46th percentile with 2 stars.
The school's standout story is rapid improvement. Its state rank jumped 192 positions between 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, moving from the 29th to the 51st percentile and from 1 star to 3 stars. Reading led the way: all-grade proficiency climbed from 36.67% to 48.7%, a 12.03-point gain, while the state slipped slightly. Science was also a relative strength, with the school beating both its district and the state; 6th grade reading reached 64.0%, which is 10.6 points above the statewide figure, and 4th grade math came in at 57.1%, 1.9 points above the state.
Math remains more mixed. All-grade math improved by 5.57 points to 43.9% but still trails the state by 1.0 point, and the weakest result is 3rd grade math at 40.9% versus 57.9% statewide — a 17.0-point gap. Third grade reading also lags the state by 10.4 points. Because this is the only elementary school in the district, the most useful comparisons are against state averages and the school's own history rather than against nearby peer schools.
