Lake Park Audubon School District

Lake Park Audubon School District is a small Minnesota district with two listed schools — Lake Park Audubon Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 275 students, and Lake Park Audubon High School, serving grades 9–12 with 388 students — for a combined listed enrollment of about 663. Notably, no middle school is listed, so grades 7–8 are not represented in this data, which limits a complete PK–12 picture of the Lake Park Audubon School District.

The elementary school is the stronger performer. Its 2025–26 all-grade reading proficiency is 50.6%, above the district (45.3%) and state (48.6%), and 3rd-grade math is 68.4% versus the state’s 57.9%. But elementary math drops sharply by grade — 68.4% in 3rd grade, 45.8% in 4th, 36.4% in 5th, and 24.1% in 6th — and science is only 18.2% proficient versus the state’s 25.5%. The high school is the most challenged: it ranks 351 of 473 (1 star) and falls below the state in math (24.1% vs. 44.9%), reading (28.1% vs. 48.6%), and science (18.3% vs. 25.5%). Its graduation rate is 81.0% vs. the state’s 84.9%, its dropout rate is 6.9% vs. 4.2%, and its student-teacher ratio is 25.5, compared with 7.9 at the elementary school.

Both schools have slipped in rankings over three years, and the district overall sits at 2 stars and the 43rd percentile. Science is a district-wide weakness (17.4% vs. the state’s 25.5%), and high school reading fell steeply from 44.55% to 28.1%. The high school’s lower free/reduced lunch rate (32.47%) than the elementary school (41.09%) alongside weaker outcomes and much larger class sizes makes its staffing and student-support context worth reviewing.
