Summary:
ZIP code 56128 has just one elementary school — Edgerton Elementary in Edgerton, Minnesota — serving grades PK–5 with 209 students as part of Edgerton Public School District. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no local side-by-side comparisons to make; the most useful context comes from how the school has performed over time and how it compares with its district and the state.
Reading is the school's clearest relative strength. In 2024–25, all-grade reading was 45.12%, well above the district's 38.5% and closer to the state's 49.59%. In 2025–26, all-grade reading slipped to 40.4% but still edged the district's 39.6%, though it stayed below the state's 48.6%. Third-grade reading at 46.9% essentially matched the state's 46.8% — the only 2025–26 subject and grade where the school met the state. Fourth-grade math at 53.3% was also close to the state's 55.2%. For context, 36.84% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio was 12.8:1 in 2024–25.
The weaknesses are concentrated and serious. All-grade science fell from 23.08% in 2024–25 to 3.7% in 2025–26, far below the district's 16.7% and the state's 25.5%. Fifth-grade math was also 3.7%, compared with the state's 41.9%, and all-grade math at 33.7% trailed both the district and the state. The school's rank dropped from 553 of 881 in 2023–24 (37th percentile, 2 stars) to 649 of 869 in 2025–26 (25th percentile, 1 star), while the district sits at the 45th percentile overall. With 209 students across PK–5, grade-level results can swing on just a few students, so the sharply low figures are worth watching closely rather than treating as fixed.
