Summary

Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary is a small PK–4 public school at 400 6th St in Kenyon, MN — a town of about 1,800 people — serving 198 students, which makes it the smallest traditional public elementary in its comparison group.

The school currently ranks 297th of 869 Minnesota elementaries — 66th percentile, 3 stars — its highest standing in the ten years of rank history available, and a long climb back from the 25th percentile (1 star) it posted in 2016-17. It also sits above its own Kenyon-Wanamingo School District, which ranks at the 53rd percentile. Math is its biggest recent strength: 59.2% of students met the standard in 2025-26, versus 31.3% district-wide and 44.9% statewide — a 27.9-point gap over its district that is the largest school-over-district math gap among nearby schools. Reading came in at 56.6%, above both the district (49.8%) and the state (48.6%).

Two things stand out for families. First, the school's results with its lowest-income students are its most impressive: low-SES students rank in the 87th percentile statewide with 4 stars, up three years running (61 → 70 → 87), even though the school has the second-highest free/reduced lunch rate (31.31%) among nearby schools. Second, results vary sharply by grade level — 3rd grade is well above the state in both math (+15.3 points) and reading (+19.1 points), while 4th grade math is 12.3 points below the state, a 30.3-point gap between adjacent grades. Class sizes are the largest in the area (student-teacher ratio 14.8), and no science score is reported, because the state tests science in grade 5 and this school ends at grade 4.
