Summary

Lincoln Elementary - Ivanhoe is a small PK–6 elementary school serving 71 students in the rural community of Ivanhoe, MN, and is part of the Ivanhoe Public School District. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 397th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (54th percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 194th of 458 districts statewide. It has the smallest enrollment among its nearby comparison schools and the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate at 22.54%, along with a relatively favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.9.

Academically, Lincoln's all-grade results are above Minnesota averages: 59.5% proficient in math (state: 44.9%) and 62.2% in reading (state: 48.6%). Science results were suppressed by the state for 2025–2026, so that figure is unknown rather than zero. Compared with neighbors, reading is locally strong — third among six nearby schools, behind Hendricks Elementary and Minneota Elementary — while math ranks fourth, ahead of Canby Elementary and Lynd Elementary but behind Hendricks, Minneota and Lake Benton Elementary. Grade-level results are mixed: 3rd grade math and 6th grade reading are slightly above state, while 6th grade math and 3rd grade reading are below. Several 4th and 5th grade figures, plus 5th grade science, were suppressed.

Rank history shows a decline from earlier highs: Lincoln was a 5-star, 93rd-percentile school in 2020–2021 and now sits at the 54th percentile with 3 stars. Its effectiveness ranking for its largest reported student group also fell, from the 80th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 27th percentile in 2025–2026. Science is worth watching: the last reported all-grade figure was 18.18% in 2024–2025, below the state's 26.15%, and nearby science scores range widely, from 15.4% at Lake Benton to 50.0% at Hendricks. With only 71 students, year-to-year swings are common, and suppressed data should be treated as unknown.
