St. Croix Preparatory Academy Lower is a standout elementary school, consistently ranking among the top 10 in Minnesota and receiving a 5-star rating from School Digger. The school's students have demonstrated exceptional performance on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments, with 90% proficient or better in math and 76.11% in reading, far exceeding the state averages.
