Summary:
ZIP code 56522 in Campbell, Minnesota is served by exactly one elementary school: Campbell-Tintah Elementary, a small rural PK–6 building with 66 students in the Campbell-Tintah Public Schools district. Because there is only one school here, there is no local comparison to make — parents are looking at a single, very small building where the average grade-level cohort is roughly 8–9 students. An 11:1 student–teacher ratio and a 27.27% free/reduced lunch rate round out the picture of a small school with relatively low poverty concentration and strong adult-to-student coverage.
The school's recent trajectory is its headline. Statewide rank climbed 258 positions in a single year, from the 21st to the 50th percentile among Minnesota elementary schools (438 of 869 in 2025–2026, versus 687 of 872 the year before). Math proficiency rose to 42.1%, within 3 points of the state's 44.9% and above the district's 37.1%, while reading rose to 34.2% — about 12 points higher than the prior year but still 14.4 points behind the state. Third-grade math (58.3%) sits essentially even with the state (57.9%), and sixth-grade math runs 10.5 points above it; sixth-grade reading, at 35.7%, trails the state by 17.7 points.
Two caveats matter for parents. First, the state suppressed the school's science result for 2025–2026 to protect student privacy, so science is genuinely unknown at the school level — not a zero and not a red flag. Several grade-level math and reading figures are suppressed for the same reason. Second, with cohorts of roughly 8–10 students, a handful of students moves every percentage on the page, so the improvement is directionally strong rather than precisely measured. Reading, especially in the upper grades, is the clearest area of remaining headroom.
