Summary

Edgerton Elementary is a small PK–5 school in Edgerton, MN, serving 209 students in the Edgerton Public School District. The district ranks 254th of 458 Minnesota districts (45th percentile, 2 stars), but the elementary school’s own 2025–2026 rank is 649th of 869 elementary schools, or 25th percentile with 1 star. After 2-star rankings from 2022–2023 through 2024–2025, Edgerton returned to a 1-star, bottom-quartile position. Nearby comparison schools include Adrian Elementary, West Elementary, Luverne Elementary, and Pipestone Elementary.

In 2025–2026, Edgerton’s all-grade math proficiency was 33.7% and reading was 40.4%, both below state averages of 44.9% and 48.6%. Those results are far below the nearby higher performers, but much closer to the other lower-performing nearby school. Science is the clearest outlier: 3.7% proficiency, compared with 16.7% in the district, 25.5% statewide, and 16.7%–39.3% among nearby schools. Grade-5 math and grade-5 science are also both 3.7%, while 3rd-grade reading (46.9%) is essentially at the state average and 4th-grade math (53.3%) is close to the state’s 55.2%. Science proficiency fell from 34.15% in 2022–2023 to 50% in 2023–2024, then 23.08% in 2024–2025, and 3.7% in 2025–2026.

Economic and staffing context does not explain the gaps. Edgerton’s free/reduced lunch rate fell to 36.84% in 2024–2025, close to some nearby schools and below others. Its student–teacher ratio improved to 12.8, similar to some nearby schools, though higher than others. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-SES students rank at the 36th percentile, while female and male students rank similarly low. With only 209 students, some year-to-year swings are expected, but the science decline and the drop to 1 star are persistent enough to matter. For parents, the top priority to ask about is science, followed by grade-5 math and school-wide math and reading gaps.
