Summary:
ZIP code 55946 has exactly one elementary school, Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary, in Kenyon, MN, serving PK–4 with 198 students as part of the Kenyon-Wanamingo School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, there are no local peer comparisons; the most useful comparisons are to the district, the state, and the school’s own past performance. Its 2024–25 profile shows a 14.8 student-teacher ratio and a 31.31% free/reduced lunch rate.
In 2025–26, Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary performed above the state in math and reading overall. Math proficiency for all grades was 59.2%, compared with 44.9% statewide and 31.3% in the district. Reading for all grades was 56.6%, compared with 48.6% statewide. Third grade was especially strong: math was 73.2% vs. 57.9% state, and reading was 65.9% vs. 46.8% state. Fourth grade, however, was below state in both subjects: math was 42.9% vs. 55.2% state, and reading was 45.7% vs. 48.8% state. That creates a large internal gap of 30.3 percentage points in math and 20.2 points in reading between 3rd and 4th grade, making 4th-grade support the clearest area to watch.
The school also ranks in the top third of Minnesota schools in 2025–26: 297th of 869, 66th percentile, 3 stars. That is up from the 58th percentile in 2024–25 and above the 62nd percentile in 2023–24. Reading improved from 46.58% in 2024–25 to 56.6% in 2025–26, moving from below state to 8.0 points above state; because the assessment label changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV, interpret that year-over-year reading gain cautiously. Math was already strong in 2024–25 at 60.27% vs. 45.21% state. Overall, Kenyon-Wanamingo Elementary is a solid, above-state performer, with math and 3rd grade as its strongest signals and 4th grade as its main challenge. The Kenyon-Wanamingo School District ranked 214th of 458, 53rd percentile, 3 stars.
