Summary

Tracy Elementary is a PK–6 school at 700 S 4th St in Tracy, MN, serving 359 students in the Tracy Area Public School District in a rural part of southwestern Minnesota.

Tracy Elementary ranks 213th of 869 Minnesota elementaries in 2025–26 — the 75th percentile, 4 stars — and its district ranks 118th of 458. Students beat the state average in every subject and every tested grade: math 59.7% vs. 44.9%, reading 57.5% vs. 48.6%, and science 33.3% vs. 25.5%. The most striking result is with low-income students: those students rank 10th of 764 schools statewide, the 99th percentile, up from the 89th percentile in 2024–25. About 55% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, so this is not a school coasting on an affluent population. The school has also climbed steadily, from the 37th percentile in 2015–16 to the 75th today, with class sizes of about 12.5 students per teacher — very similar to neighboring schools.

Compared with nearby schools, Tracy sits in the upper-middle tier. West Elementary (Slayton) and Red Rock Central Elementary (Lamberton) score higher in all three subjects but serve fewer low-income students (42% and 41%). Walnut Grove Elementary, only 7.57 miles away with similar demographics, trails Tracy by 6.4 points in math and 16.8 in reading. Three nearby buildings — Murray County Central Elementary, Park Side Elementary, and Southview Elementary — serve only early grades and produce no test data, and Milroy Elementary's results are state-suppressed, meaning they are unknown rather than zero.

Areas to watch: science proficiency has fallen four years running (62.16% in 2022–23 to 33.3% in 2025–26), though it rests on one tested grade. Math is strong in grade 3 (77.3%) and weaker by grade 6 (47.9%), while reading stays steady across grades. Closing the reading gap with West and Red Rock Central would likely move Tracy toward the 85th percentile.
