Summary

Kingsland Elementary School is a public PK–6 school in Spring Valley, MN, serving 306 students as part of Kingsland Public School District. It earned 3 stars and ranked 308th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2025–2026 (65th percentile), a meaningful rise from the 45th percentile in 2018–2019, though it has stayed at 3 stars since 2020–2021. On 2025–2026 MCA exams, math proficiency was 54.5% and reading was 53.3%, both above its district and above the state; science was 24.4%, above its district but slightly below the state’s 25.5%.

Among nearby schools, it is middle-to-upper: it trails Chatfield Elementary School (88th percentile, 4 stars), Bear Cave Intermediate School (80th, 4 stars), and Fillmore Central Elementary (74th, 4 stars), but outperforms Southland Elementary (58th, 3 stars), Grand Meadow Elementary (44th, 2 stars), and Leroy Elementary (17th, 1 star). Its math and reading are above state, though Chatfield Elementary School, Fillmore Central Elementary, Bear Cave Intermediate School, and Southland Elementary have higher math; its reading beats Southland Elementary, Grand Meadow Elementary, and Leroy Elementary. The strongest grade-level results are in upper grades: 6th-grade math 57.5% versus state 39.5%, 6th-grade reading 60.0%, and 5th-grade reading 63.4%. Early reading lags, with 3rd-grade reading at 45.7% versus state 46.8% and 4th-grade reading at 45.0% versus state 48.8%.

A key differentiator is the school’s effectiveness with low-income students: its low-SES subgroup ranked 198th of 764, 74th percentile, 4 stars in 2025–2026, and also 74th in 2024–2025 and 76th in 2023–2024. The free/reduced lunch rate was 40.85% in 2024–2025, higher than several nearby schools, including Chatfield Elementary School, Bear Cave Intermediate School, Grand Meadow Elementary, and Bonner Elementary, yet the school remains above state in math and reading. Science is the clearest weakness, below state and volatile from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026: 45.24%, 29.41%, 15.79%, and 24.4%. The limited special education data point is 20th percentile, 1 star in 2022–2023. To reach 4 stars, likely levers include science, early reading, and closing subgroup gaps, while the student-teacher ratio is 14.2.
