Summary:
ZIP code 56036 is served by a single elementary school: Glenville Emmons Elementary, a PK–6 school in Glenville, Minnesota, and part of the Glenville-Emmons School District. It enrolls 132 students and reported a student-teacher ratio of 11.1 in 2024–2025. Nearly half its students — 46.21% — qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, so the school serves a relatively high-need population. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, the most useful comparisons are between the school, its district, and the state of Minnesota.
On 2025–2026 MCA all-grade tests, the school outperformed its district in every subject but trailed the state in every subject: math 29.0% vs. 24.4% district and 44.9% state; reading 33.8% vs. 27.5% district and 48.6% state; and science 17.4% vs. 10.3% district and 25.5% state. Its rank history shows the strongest recent year was 2024–2025, at the 31st percentile with 2 stars; in 2025–2026 it fell to the 23rd percentile with 1 star, still above the district's 14th percentile and 1 star. Year over year, math fell from 39.44% to 29.0% and reading slipped from 36.62% to 33.8%, while science rose from 10.53% to 17.4%.
Fourth grade is the clearest bright spot: in 2025–2026, 4th graders scored 61.5% proficient in math (above the state's 55.2%) and 53.8% in reading (above the state's 48.8%) — the only grade and subject results above state averages. The weakest result was 6th grade math at 6.7% versus 39.5% statewide. With only 132 students, percentages can swing widely from one year to the next, so families should read these figures as a general picture rather than a precise measure.
