Summary

Greenway Middle is a grade 5–8 school in Coleraine, MN, serving 244 students as part of the Greenway Public School District. In 2025-26 it ranked 367th of 546 Minnesota middle schools (33rd percentile, 2 stars), while its district ranked 306th of 458. Its best recent year was 2016-17 (234th of 523, 55th percentile, 3 stars); after several years in the 39th–48th percentile range, it slipped from 48th percentile in 2023-24 to 39th in 2024-25 and 33rd in 2025-26. About 51.6% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024-25, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 13.7 to 15.7 over three years.

All-grade proficiency in 2025-26 was 40.7% in math, 40.3% in reading, and 18.5% in science, against state averages of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5% — close to its district in math, slightly above it in reading, but below the state in all three. The nearest traditional comparison is Robert J. Elkington Middle School in Grand Rapids, about 5 miles away: 764 students in grades 6–8, ranked 185th of 546 (66th percentile, 3 stars), in the Grand Rapids Public School District (202nd of 458). Reading is the widest gap (Elkington 52.8% versus Greenway 40.3%), while math is close (39.7% versus 40.7%). Greenway's higher all-grade science figure (18.5% versus 12.9%) is partly a grade-span effect, since it includes 5th grade science at 31.2% while 8th grade science is 1.7%. At Middle Area Learning Center, current scores are suppressed by the state.

Grade-level results split sharply. Fifth and sixth grade are strengths (math 57.1% and 56.8%; reading 50.6% and 59.1%), while 7th and 8th grade fall far below state (math 25% and 22%; reading 21.4% and 30.5%) — the opposite of Elkington, whose 7th and 8th grade reading sits at 45.3% and 46.1%. Science fell from 37.32% in 2022-23 to 18.5% in 2025-26, though a test-label change from MCA-III to MCA-IV calls for caution. Effectiveness ratings for male students are in the bottom quarter (24th percentile, 1 star), and low-income students dropped from 72nd percentile in 2024-25 to 38th in 2025-26.
