Minnesota Valley Education District

Located at 801 Davis Street in Saint Peter, Minnesota, the Minnesota Valley Education District serves as an active public educational entity offering specialized programming within the broader Mankato metropolitan area. Functioning as a specialized special education and vocational district rather than a traditional charter system, the district operates three dedicated facilities structured to accommodate students across a comprehensive grade span from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Nestled within a fringe town community setting, the district fulfills a vital regional role by delivering tailored instruction, vocational pathways, and targeted interventions designed to support diverse learning requirements.

The district’s current profile reflects a highly focused educational environment, catering to a small student body of 41 learners across the elementary, middle, and high school levels. To provide intensive support tailored to this specialized population, Minnesota Valley Education District maintains a robust staffing framework, employing approximately 80 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This dedicated team includes roughly 22.5 teacher FTEs, nearly 13 instructional aide FTEs, and over 45 support staff FTEs. This exceptionally high staff-to-student ratio underscores the district's commitment to individualized attention, multidisciplinary care, and holistic development for every student it serves.
