Summary

Wabasha-Kellogg Elementary is a PK–6 school with 205 students in Wabasha, Minnesota, a small Mississippi River town in the southeastern part of the state, and it is part of the Wabasha-Kellogg School District. It ranks 409th of 869 ranked Minnesota elementary schools in 2025-26 (53rd percentile, 3 stars), and its district ranks 203rd of 458 (56th percentile, 3 stars). The school is much smaller than nearby options: Plainview-Elgin-Millville Pk-3 enrolls 441 students and Bluff View Elementary in Lake City enrolls 592, and both have a student-teacher ratio of 12.8 compared with Wabasha-Kellogg's 7.2.

Reading is the clearest strength: 54.7% of students were proficient in 2025-26, above the district (47.9%), the state (48.6%), and Bluff View (46.5%). Math came in at 46.2%, slightly above the state's 44.9% and well above the district's 34.6%. Fourth grade stands out — 76.9% math and 73.1% reading, both far above state averages. The school also consistently ranks in the top fifth of Minnesota schools for students from low-income families (80th percentile, 4 stars, in 2025), even though its free/reduced-price lunch rate (36.59%) is nearly identical to nearby schools'.

Science is the urgent concern: 7.7% proficiency, far below the district (24.5%), the state (25.5%), and Bluff View (27.9%). Because elementary science is tested in 5th grade, this is essentially a 5th-grade result, and that grade also trails badly in math (11.5% vs. 41.9% state). Special education results are near the bottom statewide (7th percentile, 0 stars in 2025). Overall, the school has climbed back from a low of 32nd percentile in 2022-23 to 53rd percentile, though still below its earlier peak.
