Summary:

Mountain Lake Public Schools operates a single elementary school, Mountain Lake Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 269 students. The school is ranked 594 out of 872 Minnesota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mountain Lake Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the state averages. Only 37.24% of students are proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and 39.58% are proficient or better in Reading, compared to the state average of 49.59%. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 61.71% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the student-teacher ratio is 12:1, which is lower than the state average.

Overall, Mountain Lake Public Schools appears to be struggling to improve student outcomes at its sole elementary school. The consistently low rankings and significant proficiency gaps in core subjects suggest that the district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to better support student learning and achievement.
