Summary:
Scandia, Minnesota has just one listed public school in this data set — Scandia Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 311 students, part of the Forest Lake Public School District. Because it is the only school listed in the city, it represents Scandia's entire local school profile here, and there are no middle or high schools in this data for the area.
Scandia Elementary has earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported school years, and its statewide rank has improved from 190th out of 881 (78th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 153rd out of 869 (82nd percentile) in 2025–2026 — a gain of 37 places. Its district is rated 3 stars and ranks in the 62nd percentile, so the school is performing above its district context. In 2025–2026, the school exceeded both its district and the state in all three reported subjects at the All Grades level: math 66.7% proficient versus 49.9% district and 44.9% state; reading 60.9% versus 49.6% and 48.6%; and science 37.7% versus 31.4% and 25.5%.
Math is the clearest relative strength, with 3rd grade math at 73.5% proficient (57.9% statewide) and 5th grade math at 64.2% (41.9% statewide). Fifth grade reading is also a standout at 73.1% proficient, compared with 54.5% statewide, while 3rd grade reading has the narrowest margin over the state at 51.4% versus 46.8% — an area worth watching. Science has the lowest absolute proficiency at 37.7%, though still above district and state levels. Results were stable year over year: math and reading rose slightly, while science dipped by less than one percentage point. For context, 18.65% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the student-teacher ratio was 18.1. Note that "All Grades" results reflect mainly grades 3–5, and science is reported only for 5th grade.
