Academically, Wrenshall Elementary has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools and receiving low 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Math and Reading on the MCA-III tests are generally lower than the state averages, especially in 5th and 6th grades. However, Wrenshall's 3rd grade Math proficiency is higher than the state average. The school's low-income and minority student populations appear to be performing better relative to their peers statewide compared to the school's overall student population.
