Summary

Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School is a small K–5 charter school with about 300 students in Otsego, Minnesota, part of the Kaleidoscope Charter School district and located in a growing area where families also choose among the Elk River Public School District, Monticello Public School District, and St. Michael-Albertville Schools.

For 2025–2026, the school ranked 633rd of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 27th percentile, or 1 star — and it has stayed in the lower third since 2018–2019. All-grade proficiency was 40.3% in math (above the district's 32.5% but below the state's 44.9%), 38.4% in reading (below both), and just 8.2% in science (far below both). Every nearby ranked school outperforms it: Prairie View Elementary School, 1.65 miles away, sits in the 94th percentile with 78.8% math and 65.6% reading, while St. Michael Elementary, Big Woods Elementary, Otsego Elementary, Hassan Elementary, Fieldstone Elementary School, and Meadowvale Elementary all rank between the 69th and 90th percentiles.

Poverty alone doesn't explain the gap: the school's free/reduced-lunch rate of about 35% is close to Little Mountain Elementary's 32.64%, yet Little Mountain scores 55.8% in math, 57.6% in reading, and 32.0% in science. Kaleidoscope's student–teacher ratio of 10.9 is more favorable than most nearby schools (13.6–17.2). Science has collapsed from 34.62% in 2022–2023, and reading has slipped from 50.65% then to 38.4% now, while math improved from 34.73% in 2024–2025. There are bright spots — fourth-grade math (52.5%) is near the state's 55.2%, third-grade reading (42%) is close to the state's 46.8%, and special education results rose to the 30th percentile (2 stars) from the 3rd percentile the year before — but fifth grade is severe, with 20.4% math, 34.7% reading, and 8.2% science. Eastview Education Center and Albertville Primary serve only PK/K, so they have no test scores.
