Summary

Otsego Elementary is a K–4 school in Otsego, MN, serving 536 students as part of the Elk River Public School District. The district ranks 37th of 458 in Minnesota (5 stars), while Otsego ranks 135th of 869 (84th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. Its rank has trended upward over the long term, from the 66th percentile in 2016–2017 to 84th now, with some recent fluctuations.

In 2025–2026, Otsego’s all-grade math proficiency was 68.8%, above the district (60.5%) and state (44.9%). Reading was 63.3%, also above district (59.3%) and state (48.6%). Among nearby schools, Prairie View Elementary School (78.8% math), Twin Lakes Elementary (77.4%), and Hassan Elementary (73.5%) score higher in math. In reading, Twin Lakes Elementary (71.9%), Meadowvale Elementary (68.8%), and Prairie View Elementary School (65.6%) are ahead. Otsego outperforms Parker Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Big Woods Elementary, and Three Rivers Montessori School in most comparisons. Grade-level math is below district averages (3rd: 72.8% vs 75.9%; 4th: 64.5% vs 69.6%), while reading is close. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 21.46%, and student-teacher ratio is 16.8.

A key highlight is Otsego’s strong subgroup effectiveness: low-SES students rank in the 97th percentile (5 stars) and special education students in the 91st percentile (5 stars). Male students are at 90th. Over two years, male students moved from the 65th to 90th percentile, special education from 51st to 91st, and low-SES from 81st to 97th. Reading rebounded sharply from 53.59% in 2024–2025 to 63.3% in 2025–2026, while math stayed consistently strong. Note that Otsego is K–4, so it lacks 5th grade science data; Albertville Primary is PK–K with no comparable test data, and Three Rivers Montessori School has some suppressed values that should be treated as unknown.
