Summary

Grygla Elementary is a small public elementary school in Grygla, Minnesota, serving grades PK-6 with just 58 students. Despite its tiny size, the school stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.2 to 8.1 students per teacher, significantly lower than the nearby Goodridge Elementary which has a ratio of 14 students per teacher.

Grygla Elementary generally performs better than the state average on MCA-III Math and Reading assessments, particularly in 4th and 6th grades. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade Math proficiency rate was 60%, compared to the state average of 55.6%. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 167 out of 870 Minnesota elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 607 out of 869 in 2020-2021, suggesting inconsistent performance. The school's White student subgroup has performed relatively well, ranking 234 out of 722 Minnesota elementary schools for this subgroup in 2018-2019.

Grygla Elementary's small size and declining enrollment, with only 58 students currently enrolled, is a notable trend. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has also varied significantly, from 30.16% in 2021-2022 to 50% in 2022-2023, indicating the school may be serving a population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Compared to the larger Goodridge Elementary, which has 156 students, Grygla Elementary generally outperforms its neighbor on MCA-III assessments and has a higher 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Goodridge's 1-star rating.
