Summary:
Elementary education in Sebeka Public School District is provided by a single school: Sebeka Elementary, which serves roughly 218 students in grades PK–6 at 200 1st St NW in Sebeka, MN. Because it is the district's only elementary school, school-level and district-level elementary figures are the same population; the district is ranked 199 of 458 statewide with 3 stars, and the school itself ranks 371 of 869 elementary schools, at the 57th percentile.
Academically, the school outperforms both its district and the state in all three tested subjects in 2025–26: Math 49.6% (vs. 45.6% district, 44.9% state), Reading 52.3% (vs. 48.2%, 48.6%), and Science 29% (vs. 20%, 25.5%). Those headline numbers hide a sharp internal split. Grades 3 and 4 are exceptionally strong — 3rd grade Math at 78.8% and 4th grade Reading at 72.4%, each roughly 21–24 points above state — while grades 5 and 6 fall below state in both Math and Reading, with 5th grade Math at 19.4%. That is a 59.4-point spread within one subject in one year, so the all-grade average masks real upper-grade weakness. Science is the lowest subject in absolute terms but improved the most year over year, rising from 22.22% to 29%, even as district Science fell to 20%.
Two context factors matter for parents. First, 61.93% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch and the student–teacher ratio is 9.9:1, meaning small classes and a high-poverty profile — above-state results under those conditions suggest the school delivers more than its inputs would predict. Second, read grade-level extremes with caution: with roughly 25–35 students per tested grade, a single student shifts a grade result by about 3 points. Note also that state ranking slipped from the 65th to the 57th percentile between 2023–24 and 2024–25 and held there in 2025–26, even as Reading and Science proficiency rose — rankings are relative, so this likely reflects a stronger comparison pool rather than clear decline.
