Summary:
Zip code 56142 is home to exactly one school: Lincoln Elementary - Ivanhoe, a PK–6 elementary school with 71 students serving the small community of Ivanhoe in the Ivanhoe Public School District. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools listed in this zip code, so families here attend a single neighborhood elementary and look elsewhere for secondary grades. The data available covers district and school rankings, MCA test proficiency for 2025–2026 and 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch percentage, and student-teacher ratio.
Academically, Lincoln Elementary - Ivanhoe stands out for all-grade Math and Reading proficiency that beat Minnesota state averages in both reported years. In 2025–2026, all-grade Math was 59.5% versus the state's 44.9%, and Reading was 62.2% versus 48.6%. The gaps were even wider in 2024–2025, when Math was 63.89% and Reading 72.22%. The school also reports a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.9 and a modest free/reduced lunch rate of 22.54% for 2024–2025. Science is the exception: at 18.18% in 2024–2025 it fell below the state's 26.15%, and in 2025–2026 the state suppressed that figure, so current science performance is unknown.
Two caveats matter for parents reading this data. First, relative rank has slipped from the 89th percentile in 2021–2022 to 73rd in 2022–2023 and 54th in 2025–2026, with stars easing from 4 to 3, even though absolute proficiency stayed above state — ranking is relative to other schools, so this may reflect other schools improving rather than local decline. Second, with only 71 students, one child equals roughly 1.4 percentage points, and several grade-level results are suppressed because the groups are so small. Grade-level outcomes are mixed, and school and district test values are identical wherever reported, suggesting the district figures mirror this one school. Overall, it is a small, close-knit school with strong all-grade Math and Reading results and an open question in Science.
