Summary

Mora Elementary School is a PK–6 public school serving 862 students in Mora, Minnesota, a small community in the Kanabec County area, and it is part of Mora Public Schools. In 2025-2026 it ranked 175th of 869 ranked Minnesota elementary schools — the 80th percentile, 4 stars — and it has earned 4 stars in every year for the past decade except one (3 stars in 2015-2016).

Among nearby schools, Mora Elementary School is the clear academic leader of its region, topping Braham Elementary, Milaca Elementary, Pine City Elementary, Isle Elementary, Hinckley Elementary, and Ogilvie Elementary in math, reading, and science. In reading, Mora's 61.8% proficient beats Braham's 52.4%, the next best in the group, and in science its 33.3% is more than double Braham, Milaca, and Hinckley. The school also outperforms its own district and the state in every subject, finishing 8 to 16 points above the state. Its standout strength is effectiveness with low-income students: it ranks 47th of 764 schools statewide — the 94th percentile, 5 stars — a level it has held for three years running.

Two items are worth watching. Reading proficiency has slipped each of the last four years, a decline of about 5 points, and the student-to-teacher ratio rose to 15.1 from 13.7, the highest in the peer group. Science results deserve caution: the state science test is given in fifth grade, so for this PK–6 school the figure reflects a single cohort and swings widely from year to year rather than signaling a building-wide trend. Special education results also softened, to the 70th percentile and 3 stars.
