Summary

Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 555 students in Dilworth, Minnesota, a small community next to Moorhead in the Fargo–Moorhead area, and it is part of the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton school district. For 2025–2026, the school ranked 425th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 51st percentile, or 3 stars — up from the 40th percentile in 2024–2025 but below the 57th percentile in 2023–2024. It was once much higher, reaching the 82nd percentile in 2017–2018, and has since settled into the middle of the state's elementary schools.

The school's academic profile is lopsided: math is a clear strength and reading is a clear weakness. In 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 57.9%, well above the state's 44.9%, while all-grade reading was 43.1%, below the state's 48.6%. That 14.8-point math-over-reading gap is the largest among nearby schools. In math, DGF trails only Probstfield Elementary (71.8%) among comparable K–4 schools and sits ahead of S.G. Reinertsen Elementary (55.9%) and Dorothy Dodds Elementary School (55.7%). In reading, it ranks 4th of 6 comparable K–4 schools, behind Hawley Elementary (68.4%), Probstfield (62.1%), S.G. Reinertsen (49.2%) and Dorothy Dodds (47.9%).

Poverty and class size do not obviously explain the reading gap. DGF's free/reduced lunch rate was 35.68%, the second-lowest among comparable K–4 schools after Probstfield, and its student–teacher ratio of 13.8 is typical — yet its reading proficiency is below schools with higher poverty rates. Subgroup results are uneven: low-income students rank near the state median, while special education students rank mid-to-low. The most actionable takeaway is to ask how the school plans to strengthen reading, especially in 3rd grade, where proficiency was 40.7% against the state's 46.8%, while protecting its genuine math gains.
