Summary

Voyager Elementary is a PK–5 school at 203 Voyager Drive in Alexandria, Minnesota, serving 446 students as the second-largest elementary in the Alexandria Public School District. In 2025–26 it ranked 195th of 869 Minnesota elementaries — the 78th percentile, 4 stars, and the top quarter of the state. That sits below the district's own 88th-percentile standing, which is carried substantially by smaller rural campuses like Miltona Elementary (126 students, 98th percentile).

The standout story is steady improvement. Voyager climbed from the 46th percentile in 2018–19 to the 78th in 2025–26 — 32 percentile points and a full star, with 4 stars held three years running. Reading did most of the work, rising from 49.74% to 59.3%, while math stayed flat and high at 66–69%. Today 67.3% of students meet standards in math (12.5 points above the district, 22.4 above the state) and 59.3% in reading (10.7 above the state). Against nearby Lincoln Elementary, math is essentially tied, but Voyager's reading is 6.6 points higher with fewer students per teacher (12.8 vs. 15.3). Against Woodland Elementary School, Voyager leads by roughly 20 points in both math and reading.

Science is the clearest weak spot: at 26.4%, Voyager trails its district for the first time in the data and sits only narrowly above the state, with just Woodland lower among district elementaries. Statewide test changes explain part of the drop, but the loss of Voyager's former district lead is real. Fifth grade is the soft spot — its math and science are the only grade-level results below district peers. Otherwise the school is a statistical twin of Garfield Elementary, which shares its 78th percentile; nearly all the separation comes from science. Notably, low-income students here rank at the 83rd percentile — above the school overall — and special education students climbed from the 59th to the 75th percentile in two years. Female students consistently rank about 20 points above male students. Nearby Osakis Elementary ranks slightly higher (84th percentile) while serving more low-income students.
