Summary:
St. Clair Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single elementary school, St. Clair Elementary, which serves grades PK–6 and enrolls 411 students in Saint Clair. With only one elementary school in the district, there are no within-district peers to compare against, so the most meaningful benchmarks come from district-level and statewide results. The district itself ranks 151 of 458 districts in the state, placing it in the 67th percentile with 3 stars, while the school has earned 4 stars in each of the last three school years.
Academically, math and reading are the school's clearest strengths. In 2025-2026, all-grades math proficiency was 58.1% against 44.9% statewide, and reading was 62.9% against 48.6% statewide — double-digit advantages over the state. The early grades stand out most: third-grade math reached 80.4% versus 57.9% statewide, and third-grade reading was 74% versus 46.8%. Fourth-grade math (70.8%) and reading (61.6%) were also well above state averages, and reading improved slightly year over year, from 62.2% to 62.9%.
Science is the main concern. All-grades science proficiency was 19.3%, below the state's 25.5%, and it fell sharply from 31.75% the prior year — a 12.45-point decline while the state dipped only 0.65 points. Fifth grade is a pressure point overall: fifth-grade math was 36.4% (state: 41.9%) and fifth-grade science 19.3% (state: 25.9%), though fifth-grade reading remained above state at 63%. The school's rank has also slipped, from 103 of 881 in 2023-2024 to 245 of 869 in 2025-2026 — still the 72nd percentile and a 4-star result, but a trend worth watching. About one in five students (20.44%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.1.
