Summary

Lake Park Audubon Elementary is a small PK–6 school in Audubon, MN serving 275 students as part of the Lake Park Audubon School District. In 2025–2026 it ranked 458th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 47th percentile with 2 stars — a mid-range position statewide, though slightly lower than its 57th percentile in 2023–2024 and 50th in 2024–2025. The district itself ranks 261st of 458 Minnesota districts.

Reading is the school's clearest strength: 50.6% of students were proficient, above the state (48.6%) and the district (45.3%). Math came in at 41.8%, below the state (44.9%), and science at just 18.2%, well below the state (25.5%) and the lowest among nearby schools. Grade-level results show a clear pattern — 3rd grade math (68.4%) and reading (52.6%) beat the state, but math slips below state in grades 4, 5, and 6, falling to 24.1% by 6th grade. Nearby Hawley Elementary (76.1% in math), Frazee Elementary (52.0%), Rossman Elementary (64.2%), and Roosevelt Elementary (59.2%) all post higher math scores, while Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary (42.5%) is close and Ogema Elementary (33.3%) is lower.

One distinctive feature is the school's very low student-teacher ratio of 7.9, the lowest among the nearby schools listed above, which range from roughly 10.5 to 15.5 — a resource that can support extra help for students. About 41% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a moderate rate compared with neighboring districts, and the school's effectiveness ranking for low-income students is notably higher than its overall rank. Overall, this is a small, mid-range school with genuine reading strengths and clear room to grow in upper-elementary math and science.
