Summary

Lakeaires Elementary is a public elementary school in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, serving 387 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the White Bear Lake School District, which is ranked 228 out of 446 districts in the state.

Lakeaires Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a ranking between 400-600 out of around 850-880 schools in recent years. The school's performance on MCA-III assessments is generally below the district and state averages in both math and reading across all grade levels. However, the school performs relatively better for Hispanic students, ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools for this subgroup. Lakeaires Elementary has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.6% to 45.19% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Vadnais Heights Elementary (41.81%) and Lincoln Elementary (18.74%), but lower than Willow Lane Elementary (71.16%).

Lakeaires Elementary's performance has declined over the past few years, with the school's ranking dropping from 211 out of 853 Minnesota elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 556 out of 872 in 2024-2025. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for the school to implement strategies to improve academic outcomes. While Lakeaires Elementary's performance is generally weaker than the nearby Vadnais Heights Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, it outperforms the nearby Birch Lake Elementary and Willow Lane Elementary, which have even lower rankings and weaker academic performance.
