Montevideo Public School District had the highest enrollment among Chippewa County districts, welcoming 1,396 students during the 2023-24 school year, according to the Minnesota Department of Education.

Of all the students enrolled that year, 52.6% of them were male, and 47.4% were female.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 67.1% of Montevideo Public School District's total enrollment.

Among the three districts in Chippewa County, MACCRAY School District ranked second in enrollment numbers with 758 students, while Minnesota River Valley Education District welcomed 58 students to be ranked third in the 2023-24 school year.

Montevideo Public School District generally encompasses schools within Chippewa County with its main office in Montevideo.

In the previous school year, Montevideo Public School District also had the highest number of students among Chippewa County districts.

According to the 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), Minnesota's fourth graders scored 241 in math, just above the national average of 237. Their reading score of 216 was on par with the U.S. average, but shows a slight decline over recent years. Eighth graders scored 284 in math and 264 in reading, both above the national averages. 

However, despite these results, both grade levels remain below pre-pandemic levels in math and reading.

As of 2024, according to Public School Review, the student-to-teacher ratio in Minnesota's public schools stands at 1:16, slightly worse than the national average of 1:15. This is part of a larger framework within Minnesota's educational system, which is the 10th largest in the United States, accommodating over 869,000 students across 2,709 public schools.
