Summary:

The Owatonna Public School District in Minnesota is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from early childhood through 6th grade. The data reveals a diverse range of academic performance among these schools, with some standouts and others facing challenges.

Lincoln Elementary consistently ranks among the top 40% of Minnesota elementary schools, outperforming the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency. In contrast, Owatonna Online K-6 struggles with math proficiency, scoring significantly below the district and state averages. Washington Elementary excels in math proficiency, with all-grade scores well above the district and state, while also maintaining the lowest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools.
