Summary

Knight Elementary is a public elementary school located in Randall, Minnesota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 115 students. The school is part of the Little Falls Community Schools district, which is ranked 318 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Knight Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates in math and reading that are below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 33.33% in math and 42.59% in reading, compared to the state averages of 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. When compared to the nearby Lindbergh Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, which are also part of the Little Falls Community Schools district, Knight Elementary underperforms in both math and reading proficiency.

Knight Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 50.89% to 58.18% over the past three years. The school's performance for this subgroup has been mixed, with a ranking in the top 15% of Minnesota elementary schools in 2017-2018, but then dropping to the bottom half in subsequent years. The small student-teacher ratio at Knight Elementary, ranging from 8.2 to 9.7 over the past three years, could be a potential strength, but the school has not been able to leverage this advantage to improve academic outcomes consistently.
