Summary

Win-E-Mac Elementary is a PK–6 school with 247 students in Erskine, MN, part of the Win-E-Mac School District. It has historically been a strong performer, mostly a 4-star, top-quartile school from 2016–17 through 2024–25 and peaking at the 88th percentile in 2020–21. In 2025–26, however, it ranked 376 of 869 schools (57th percentile, 3 stars), its lowest percentile in the provided 10-year history. Nearby PK–6 comparators include J.A. Hughes Elementary, Fertile-Beltrami Elementary, Red Lake County Central Elementary, and Magelssen Elementary.

Math is Win-E-Mac’s clear strength: all-grades math proficiency is 58.4%, above Minnesota’s 44.9% and the district’s 51.1%, and every tested grade—3rd through 6th—is above the state math average. Reading is the main weakness. At 44.0%, it is below the state’s 48.6% and is the lowest reading score among nearby schools; Win-E-Mac is the only nearby school below the state reading average in 2025–26. The reading gap is concentrated in grades 3–4: 32.1 vs. 46.8 in 3rd grade and 33.3 vs. 48.8 in 4th grade, while grades 5–6 are near or above state. Win-E-Mac’s math-over-reading gap is 14.4 points, much larger than nearby schools. Science is 21.2%, below the state’s 25.5% but ahead of J.A. Hughes, Fertile-Beltrami, and Magelssen; it has been volatile because it is tested at only one grade level.

The school’s recent overall decline is driven mainly by reading: reading fell from 61.83% in 2023–24 to 53.73% in 2024–25 to 44.0% in 2025–26, shifting from above state to below state. Context matters: Win-E-Mac has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate among nearby schools (33.6%, vs. 40.45%–58.53%) and the highest student/teacher ratio (15.2, vs. 9.9–12.6 nearby). Those factors do not prove cause, but they make the reading weakness especially worth asking about. The takeaway: Win-E-Mac remains math-strong, but recent reading declines in early grades have pulled its overall rating down, making reading support the key area to explore.
