About Winterquist Elementary School
Winterquist Elementary is the single elementary school in Esko Public Schools (ISD 99), serving roughly 684 students from prekindergarten through grade 6 on the shared Esko campus (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025, accessed 2026-08-13).
Esko Public Schools enrolls roughly 1,287 students across two buildings on one shared campus (NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-2025). Because there is one building per level there is no attendance-boundary question inside the district and one cohort moves through together from prekindergarten to graduation, which is the single most cited reason households move into the Esko attendance area and why housing inside its lines is priced above comparable rural Carlton County property. The attendance area does not follow Thomson Township lines exactly and boundaries change, so confirm a specific address with the district before buying on that assumption. This guide builds its own transparent school ratings from Minnesota Department of Education report card data rather than republishing licensed third-party scores.
