Summary

Glenville Emmons Elementary is a small PK–6 school in Glenville, MN, serving 132 students in the Glenville-Emmons School District. For 2025–2026 it ranks 671st of 869 Minnesota schools, in the 23rd percentile with 1 star, while its district ranks 395th of 458, in the 14th percentile with 1 star. Its best recent year was 2018–2019, when it reached the 38th percentile with 2 stars, and it has not reached the top half of Minnesota schools in the years shown.

Proficiency is above the home district but below the state in every core subject: 29.0% in math versus 24.4% district and 44.9% state; 33.8% in reading versus 27.5% and 48.6%; and 17.4% in science versus 10.3% and 25.5%. Compared with nearby schools, it sits mid-to-low: math is close to Lyle Elementary (28.9%) and Sibley Elementary (29.4%) but well behind Southgate Elementary (46.5%), Lakeview Elementary (55.4%) and Halverson Elementary (48.6%). Free/reduced lunch was 46.21% in 2024–2025, lower than most nearby schools—only Alden-Conger Elementary is lower—and its student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is comparatively favorable.

Performance varies a lot inside the school. In 2025–2026, 4th grade math was 61.5% and 4th grade reading 53.8%, both above state averages, while 6th grade math was 6.7% and 5th grade math 17.4%. With only 132 students, a handful of children can move percentages by several points, so year-to-year swings—science went from 10.53% to 17.4%—should be read with caution. Subgroup effectiveness is a concern: female students rank at the 17th percentile and low-income students at the 24th percentile among Minnesota schools serving similar populations. Overall, this is a relative bright spot within its district, but it remains below state averages.

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
