Summary

Annandale Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Annandale, MN, serving 929 students in the Annandale Public School District, which makes it by far the largest elementary school among the nearby schools it is usually compared with — more than double the enrollment of most peers. The district as a whole is highly rated, ranking 42nd of 458 Minnesota districts (91st percentile, 5 stars), while the elementary school itself ranked 269th of 869 schools in 2025–2026 (69th percentile, 3 stars). That is still above the state median, but it is a slide from earlier years when the school was often in the high 70s and 80s percentile.

Academically, Annandale Elementary is above the Minnesota state averages in all three tested subjects. Math is its strongest area at 59.9% proficient versus 44.9% statewide, and also above the district average of 54.9% — with 4th grade math especially strong. Reading is 55.5% proficient versus 48.6% statewide, though slightly below the district average. Science is 27.4% versus 25.5% statewide, also below the district average. Among nearby schools, Cokato Elementary and Monticello Nature Based Education outperform Annandale in most subjects, while Northwinds Elementary and Maple Lake Elementary are in roughly the same tier. Notably, Cokato performs higher overall despite having a higher free/reduced lunch rate (32.92% vs. 27.45%).

The biggest concerns for parents to weigh are science and school-wide trends. Science proficiency has fallen sharply, from 60.71% in 2022–2023 to 27.4% in 2025–2026, narrowing a once-large lead over the state. The school's student–teacher ratio of 17.2 is the highest among comparable nearby elementary schools, and its poverty rate is mid-pack. Subgroup results are uneven: female students and low-income students rank above the school overall, while special education students sit near the state median. Overall, Annandale Elementary is a large, above-state-average school with real strength in math and solid reading, but with clear room to grow in science.
