Summary:

The Win-E-Mac School District in Erskine, Minnesota, serves roughly 458 students across two schools: Win-E-Mac Elementary, covering PK–6 with 247 students, and Win-E-Mac Secondary, covering grades 7–12 with 211 students. There is no separate middle or alternative school in this district. District-wide, Win-E-Mac ranks 138th of 458 Minnesota districts — the 70th percentile — with 4 stars.

The two schools are moving in opposite directions. Win-E-Mac Secondary is the standout, ranking 28th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–26 (94th percentile, 5 stars) after reaching the 95th percentile the year before. Its upper-grade results are strong: 11th-grade math 50% proficient vs. the state's 35.3%, 10th-grade reading 58.1% vs. 42.5%, and science end-of-course 51.2% vs. 35%. Yet all-grade math (42.2%) and reading (43.9%) trail state averages (44.9% and 48.6%), 8th grade is a clear weak spot (math 24.2% vs. 42.3%; reading 33.3% vs. 50%; science 3% vs. 16.7%), and the dropout rate is 10.0% vs. the state's 4.2%, with graduation at 82.5% vs. 84.9%. Win-E-Mac Elementary, meanwhile, is a math standout at 58.4% all-grade proficiency vs. the state's 44.9%, above state at every tested grade (3rd 75.9%, 4th 64.3%, 5th 46.9%, 6th 50.0%), but reading (44.0% vs. 48.6%) and science (21.2% vs. 25.5%) lag, and its rank slipped from the 84th percentile in 2023–24 to the 57th in 2025–26.

Both schools saw reading decline from 2024–25 to 2025–26 — elementary from 53.73% to 44.0%, secondary from 52.34% to 43.9% — leaving district reading at 43.9%, below the state's 48.6%. District math (51.1%) and science (27.1%) sit above state averages. Notably, secondary serves more students from low-income families (43.13% free/reduced lunch vs. 33.6%) and has a larger student-teacher ratio (18.0 vs. 15.2) while still ranking far higher. With only two schools and small enrollments, year-to-year swings can reflect cohort changes, but the patterns are clear: elementary math is a strength, secondary's upper grades and state rank are strong, and reading plus secondary completion rates need attention.
