Truman Elementary School Designated a Reward School for 2014-15 The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) designated Truman Elementary School a Reward School for 2014-15! Reward schools represent the highest-performing Title I schools based on results of the Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR). As a Reward School, Truman Elementary School is in the top 15 percent of Title I schools in the state. This designation reflects the gains Truman Elementary has made in proficiency, growth and reducing the achievement gap. The Elementary School staff identified areas of past concern and worked to address the needs of students through interventions and adjustments to curriculum.

This school has been wonderful for our children. Many past issues or shortcomings have been resolved and current staff and administration in both the elementary and high school do a remarkable job. They have instilled in all 3 of my kids the drive to learn and succeed. Great small town, family atmosphere, I can't imagine my kids being anywhere else, they LOVE their school. Pay a visit to Truman School, don't pass it up because of a past administrator or something that happened 5 years ago. Things have CHANGED and for the better! See for yourself and form your own opinions.

I certainly don't claim Truman is the best school on the planet, but I think they do a really good job for our students. If you take a look at alumni, you'll see doctors, lawyers, teachers, farmers, etc. It's a great community to be a part of and I have no problem sending my children here to receive a quality education. Not every teacher is perfect, but some are OUTSTANDING!

There is now and never has been, anything great about this school, For years they have employed new college grads and those who hang on only for the state retirement. The tax base is lousy, the local parents apparently don't care, and the state is satisfied just to have the school stay open.

A very poor school. Test scores are way too low in too many areas. I'd send my kids to Fairmont any day over this place.
