Summary

Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Middle School is a grades 5–8 school in Glyndon, MN, serving 508 students as part of the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 295th of 546 Minnesota middle schools—46th percentile, 2 stars—a notable drop from 2024–2025, when it ranked 157th of 519 (70th percentile, 3 stars). The school’s reading proficiency is 50.7%, above nearby Horizon Middle School at 47.0% and the state at 48.6%. Reading is strongest in grades 5, 6, and 8; grade 7 is the exception at 38.5%, below the comparison school and the state.

Math and science are weaker. The school’s math proficiency is 29.6%, compared with the comparison school’s 33.4% and the state’s 44.9%; grade 6 math is the weakest at 21.5%, while grade 7 math is a relative bright spot at 37.3%, above the comparison school. Science is the most serious academic concern: 10.0% proficiency versus the comparison school’s 18.3% and the state’s 25.5%. This is far below both comparisons, even allowing for a change in the science exam label in recent years. The school serves a lower-poverty population than the comparison school—33.07% free/reduced lunch versus 46.25%—and has a similar student-teacher ratio (16.5 versus 16.8), which makes the lower math and science results especially notable.

Student-group results show a broad 2025–2026 decline. Male students fell from 4 stars to 2 stars; low-income students and other groups also dropped. Special education students remain a persistent gap: the school ranked 244th of 296 (18th percentile, 1 star) in 2025–2026, continuing a longstanding pattern. In district context, the Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton district ranks 164th of 458 (64th percentile, 3 stars), while the Moorhead Area Public Schools district ranks 215th of 458 (53rd percentile, 3 stars). Yet the school now trails Horizon Middle School in overall rank—295th versus 268th—after previously being ahead. The bottom line for parents: reading is a genuine strength, but the latest year shows broad academic decline, especially in math and science, plus a persistent special education gap.
