Summary

Glenville Emmons Elementary is a public elementary school in Glenville, Minnesota, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 123 students. The school is part of the Glenville-Emmons School District, which is ranked 273 out of 446 districts in the state.

Glenville Emmons Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a ranking between 540-732 out of 840-872 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on MCA-III assessments is generally below the state average in both math and reading proficiency across all grades. Compared to nearby schools like Alden-Conger Elementary and Lakeview Elementary, Glenville Emmons Elementary's math and reading proficiency rates are lower.

The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students and white students, is particularly concerning, highlighting potential equity issues that need to be addressed. The school's relatively low free and reduced lunch rate compared to nearby schools may suggest that the school serves a more affluent population. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 12 students per teacher, could be a potential strength, though it does not seem to be translating into improved academic performance based on the available data.

This district does not attract good educators, it never has. The district is a nepotistic cesspool of inbred locals, this school would be right at home in Alabama or West Virginia. Close Quote
