Summary

McKinley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Ham Lake, Minnesota, serving 653 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, which is ranked 165 out of 446 districts in the state.

McKinley Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Minnesota, ranking in the top 5% of all Minnesota elementary schools for the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 68th out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the Anoka-Hennepin School District and the state of Minnesota in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 77.57% of McKinley Elementary students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 51.94% for the district and 45.21% for the state.

McKinley Elementary also stands out for its strong performance across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, multi-racial students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students. The school's relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 18.99% in the 2023-2024 school year is significantly lower than nearby schools like Sunrise Elementary (22.39%), Sand Creek Elementary (49.74%), and Johnsville Elementary (47.1%). This, combined with the school's low student-teacher ratio of 16.2, suggests that McKinley Elementary may be benefiting from factors such as smaller class sizes and a more affluent student population.
