Summary

Plainview-Elgin-Millville 4-5 is a grades 4–5 elementary school in Elgin, Minnesota, serving 315 students as part of the Plainview-Elgin-Millville district, which ranks 101st of 458 Minnesota districts (78th percentile, 4 stars).

In 2025–2026, the school's all-grades proficiency was above both district and state averages: math 51.1% (district 48.7%, state 44.9%), reading 53.7% (state 48.6%), and science 31.6% (state 25.5%). The school currently ranks 319th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars), down from 157th of 845 (81st percentile, 4 stars) in 2022–2023. Science has fallen the furthest, from 68.57% in 2022–2023 to 31.6% now, though it remains above the state mark. The school is still above average statewide, but its edge over the state has narrowed.

The biggest current story is the split between grades. Fifth graders are above state in math (56.8% vs. 41.9%), reading (66.3% vs. 54.5%) and science (31.6% vs. 25.9%), while fourth graders are below state in math (45.3% vs. 55.2%) and reading (41.1% vs. 48.8%). Locally, the school outranks most Rochester elementaries, including Elton Hills Elementary School, Hoover Elementary School, Riverside Central Elementary School and Gage Elementary School, but trails Dover-Eyota Elementary in math and reading and Jefferson Elementary School in all three subjects; its 5th grade reading is the highest among nearby schools with reported scores. The same district's Plainview-Elgin-Millville Pk-3 posts higher math (71.2%) and reading (61.5%). Low-income students remain a relative strength (73rd percentile, 4 stars), while special education students dropped from the 61st–64th percentile range to the 8th percentile (0 stars), a change worth asking about.
