Summary

Rice Lake Elementary is a public elementary school in Maple Grove, Minnesota, serving 604 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Osseo Public School District, which is ranked 267 out of 446 districts in the state.

While Rice Lake Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools over the past five years, the school's academic performance is below the district and state averages in both math and reading across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 41.67% of students at Rice Lake Elementary were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 42.97% for the district and 45.21% for the state. The school also struggles to perform well for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Multi-racial, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the Osseo Public School District, such as Fernbrook Elementary and Oak View Elementary, generally outperform Rice Lake Elementary on academic measures, with higher rankings, better test scores, and a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds. In contrast, the nearby Noble Academy and Minnesota Excellence in Learning Academy charter schools perform significantly worse than Rice Lake Elementary on academic measures.
