Summary:

Lanesboro Public School District in Minnesota serves about 442 students across two schools — Lanesboro Elementary (PK–6, 249 students) and Lanesboro Secondary (7–12, 193 students) — both located at the same address in Lanesboro, MN, and ranked 57th percentile with 3 stars at the district level.

The two schools are heading in opposite directions. Lanesboro Elementary rose from 49th percentile and 2 stars in 2024–2025 to 63rd percentile and 3 stars in 2025–2026, and it beats the state in all three tested subjects: math at 55.4% (state 44.9%), reading at 50.4% (state 48.6%), and science at 27.0% (state 25.5%). Lanesboro Secondary slid from 78th percentile and 4 stars in 2023–2024 to 47th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026, and trails the state in every subject: math 37.0%, reading 42.0%, science 18.3%. The elementary school outperforms the secondary school by 18.4 points in math, 8.4 in reading, and 8.7 in science.

Results vary sharply by grade. Elementary 3rd grade stands out — math 76.5% and reading 61.8%, both well above state — but 4th grade reading falls to 33.3%, 15.5 points below state. At the secondary school, 8th grade reading is above state at 53.3%, while 8th grade science is only 7.4% against the state's 16.7%. Science is the district's weakest area overall (21.6% vs. 25.5% state). Even so, the secondary school's completion outcomes are comparatively solid, with an 84.3% graduation rate near the state's 84.9% and a 3.1% dropout rate better than the state's 4.2%. Elementary has more students on free/reduced lunch (39.76% vs. 31.09%) and a higher student-teacher ratio (14.1 vs. 12.0), yet still posts the higher proficiency.
