Summary

Madison-Marietta-Nassau Elementary is a small PK–4 school in Madison, Minnesota, serving 151 students as part of Lac qui Parle Valley Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 381st of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — 56th percentile, 3 stars — above its own district, which ranks 295th of 458 districts (36th percentile, 2 stars). The school has been improving, from the 39th percentile in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to 49th in 2024–2025 and 56th in 2025–2026, though it remains below its earlier peak of 81st percentile in 2016–2017.

Compared with nearby schools, Madison-Marietta-Nassau Elementary is the stronger of the two Lac qui Parle Valley elementaries, outperforming Appleton-Milan Elementary on every listed 2025–2026 measure: math 56.9% vs. 40.5%, reading 50.0% vs. 30.4%, 3rd grade math 73.3% vs. 43.2%, and 3rd grade reading 63.3% vs. 31.8%. It also has a lower free/reduced lunch rate (35.76% vs. 61.74%) and a smaller student-teacher ratio (11.6 vs. 13.2). Stevens Elementary in Dawson, part of Dawson-Boyd Public School District, is the high-performing benchmark nearby at the 91st percentile with 5 stars, posting 68.7% in math and 68.9% in reading. Because Stevens serves slightly more low-income students with nearly the same student-teacher ratio, its advantage isn't explained by poverty or class size.

Math is this school's most consistent strength, above the state in every listed year from 2022–2023 through 2025–2026 (56.9% vs. 44.9% statewide in 2025–2026). Reading had been below the state for three listed years but rebounded to 50.0%, just above the state's 48.6%. Grade-level results split sharply: 3rd graders are well above state averages, while 4th graders are well below (39.3% math and 35.7% reading vs. 55.2% and 48.8%), making 4th grade the clearest area to watch. Subgroup results also vary — female students rank at the 60th percentile, low-SES and male students at the 50th, and the White student subgroup at the 29th percentile with 1 star, below the school's overall standing.
