Summary:
Silver Lake, Minnesota has one school in this data set—Lakeside Elementary—an elementary school serving grades 3–6 with 408 students in the Glencoe-Silver Lake School District. Because it is the only school listed for the city, there are no within-city peers to compare; the most useful comparisons are between Lakeside, its district, and Minnesota statewide averages. The district itself is ranked 274th of 458 districts in Minnesota, a 40th percentile, 2-star rating, so Lakeside is the only local school families can evaluate here.
Lakeside’s standout strength is math. In 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 59.7%, compared with 46.5% in the district and 44.9% statewide—13.2 points above the district and 14.8 points above the state. The upper grades are especially strong: 5th grade math was 57.4% versus 41.9% statewide, and 6th grade math was 61.6% versus 39.5% statewide. Science also improved sharply: Lakeside went from 20% in 2024–2025, which was 6.15 points below the state, to 27.8% in 2025–2026, now 2.3 points above the state and 9.9 points above the district.
Reading is more mixed. All-grade reading was 49.3%, slightly above the state’s 48.6% and 7.7 points above the district, but grade-level results were uneven: 3rd grade reading was 41.6% versus 46.8% statewide, 4th grade was 47.2% versus 48.8%, while 5th and 6th grades were essentially at the state average. Lakeside’s 2025–2026 school rank is 302 of 869, a 65th percentile, 3-star rating—higher than the district’s 40th percentile and 2-star rating. The school also has a 39.95% free/reduced lunch rate and a 14.9 student-teacher ratio, context that may matter to families. Overall, the data show a school with strong math, improving science, and average-to-mixed reading relative to Minnesota.
