Summary

Lewiston-Altura Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 254 students in Lewiston, MN, part of the Lewiston-Altura Public School District, and it currently ranks 71st of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the top 8% statewide.

Math and science are this school's standout strengths. At 79.2% proficient in math, Lewiston-Altura Elementary posts the highest math result among nearby schools, ahead of Chatfield Elementary School (69.1%) and Ridgeway Community School (67.3%). Science is even more distinctive: 65.4% proficient, more than double the state average of 25.5%, while the next-highest nearby school with reported science data, Rushford-Peterson Elementary, sits at 30.4%. Reading is a solid, reliable strength at 61.4% — above the state and district — though Chatfield (67.4%) and Ridgeway (63.6%) score higher. Class sizes are small, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.6, second-lowest among nearby schools behind only Bluffview Montessori (6.8) and far below Chatfield (13.8) and St. Charles Elementary (13.7). Notably, the school outperforms several nearby schools that serve fewer low-income students.

The school has climbed steadily over the past decade, from the 54th percentile in 2016–2017 to the 92nd percentile in 2025–2026, with some dips along the way. Its work with low-income students is exceptionally strong: for low socioeconomic status students it ranked 5th of 764 schools statewide (99th percentile) in 2025–2026. One caveat for parents: science is tested only in 5th grade, so that score can swing widely from year to year — it was 30.77% in 2024–2025 before reaching 65.4% now. Reading has held steady around 59–61% for four years, making it a dependable strength even if it is not the school's biggest edge.
