For 2025–2026, Montgomery Pre K-8 ranks in the 44th percentile of Minnesota schools with 2 stars (483rd of 869). Reading is its clearest relative strength: 50.9% of students met standards, above the district’s 46.7% and the state’s 48.6%. Math is 39.2%, above the district average but below the state’s 44.9% and lower than most nearby traditional schools. Science is 22.1%, below both the district (23.6%) and state (25.5%). Nearby, Le Center Pre K-8 is very close in all three subjects (43rd percentile, 2 stars), while Lonsdale Pre K-6 has stronger math (44.6%) but weaker reading (42.5%). Cleveland Elementary, Oak Crest Elementary, Eagle View, Falcon Ridge, and Raven Stream Elementary rank higher, between the 52nd and 65th percentiles.

The school’s free/reduced lunch rate is 37.99%, higher than many nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio improved to 13.5 from 17.7 in 2022–2023.

Grade-level results vary widely. Third-grade math is a standout at 66.7%, above district and state, but fourth-grade math is 31.4%, far below district (42.3%) and state (55.2%). Reading is strong in grades 3 (54.2%), 6 (55.4%), and especially 8 (65.6%, well above the state’s 50.0%), yet weaker in grades 4 (33.3%) and 5 (45.1%). Science is low overall at 22.1%, though eighth-grade science is 21.3%, above the state’s 16.7%, while fifth-grade science is 23.5%, slightly below the state’s 25.9%. Special education effectiveness dropped from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 24th percentile in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and low-SES students ranked 41st percentile in 2025–2026. Overall, the school shows reading as a relative strength, with math and science as areas of concern, and targeted needs in fourth-grade math/reading, fifth-grade reading, middle-school math, and special education support.
