Best Elementary Schools in Minnesota for Special Education Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Minnesota!

Every year, the Minnesota Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Special Education students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

Coming soon: We're expecting this year's test scores from the Minnesota Department of Education any day now — new rankings will be posted the moment they're released!
