Summary

Crooked Lake Elementary is a K–5 school in Andover, Minnesota, serving 438 students as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, which ranks 184th of 458 districts in the state. In 2025–2026, Crooked Lake Elementary ranked 338th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (61st percentile, 3 stars). Its proficiency rates were 61.2% in math and 34.8% in science — both above the district (51% and 27.1%) and state (44.9% and 25.5%) — while reading came in at 46%, below the district's 50.9% and the state's 48.6%.

That mixed profile follows a two-year slide. Crooked Lake was at the 88th percentile in 2023–2024 and 76th in 2024–2025 before falling to 61st. Since 2023–2024, math proficiency dropped 15.86 points, reading 17.79 points, and science 20.46 points. Grade-level results show where the trouble sits: 5th grade is a bright spot, with 71.6% proficient in math, 59.7% in reading and 34.8% in science — all above district and state. Third- and fourth-grade reading, however, sit near 40%, below both benchmarks. Among nine nearby Anoka-Hennepin elementary schools, Crooked Lake ranks third overall, second in science (behind only Andover Elementary) and fourth in reading. It outperforms the nearby charters, Modern Montessori Charter School and Innovation Sci & Technical Elementary.

Effectiveness across student groups has narrowed: groups such as special education students and low-income students were at or above the state median in 2023–2024 but are now at the 41st and 54th percentiles. Demographics and class size don't explain the change — free/reduced lunch has held near 33–35% and the student-teacher ratio improved to 13.8. Notably, Crooked Lake's reading score is below Mississippi Elementary and Hoover Elementary BioMed Sci Egng, schools with much higher poverty rates. Andover Elementary remains the local benchmark at the 95th percentile.
