Summary:
Grygla Elementary is the only elementary school in the Grygla Public School District, so it is the single option for families in this small rural Minnesota community. It serves grades PK–6 with 68 students enrolled and a student–teacher ratio of 8.5, and 29.41% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025. The district as a whole ranks 382 out of 458 districts in Minnesota, at the 17th percentile with 1 star. With just one elementary school here, there are no other local schools to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district and the state.
The school's results have moved a lot in two years. In 2024–2025 it was a relative bright spot: all-grade math was 47.5%, above both the district's 42.42% and the state's 45.21%, and reading was 42.5%, above the district's 35.62% but below the state's 49.59%. Science that year was suppressed by the state, so it is unknown. That year the school ranked 365 out of 872 schools, at the 58th percentile with 3 stars. In 2025–2026, performance dropped: all-grade math fell to 33.3% and reading to 34.2%, both slightly above the district but below the state, and science was reported at 0% against a state rate of 25.5%. The school's rank fell to 739 out of 869, at the 15th percentile with 1 star.
Grade-level results in 2025–2026 were uneven. Fifth grade reading, at 50%, was the strongest reported result and came close to the state's 54.5%, while 4th grade reading was 16.7% against a state rate of 48.8%. Third and 6th grade math and reading results were suppressed by the state and are unknown, not zero. Because the tested groups are so small, percentages here can swing widely from year to year, so parents should treat both the recent declines and the bright spots with caution.
