Summary

Lino Lakes Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 501 students in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, a community in the northern Twin Cities metro area, and it is part of the Forest Lake Public School District, which ranks 172 of 458 Minnesota districts (62nd percentile, 3 stars). The school itself ranks 432 of 869 Minnesota schools — 50th percentile, 3 stars — putting it right around the state average.

Reading is the relative strength: 54.3% of students met proficiency in 2025–26, above the district's 49.6% and the state's 48.6%, and in line with mid-tier neighbors such as Golden Lake Elementary (55.4%), North Star Elementary (54.3%) and Centennial Elementary (54.1%). Math sits at 46.9%, below the district's 49.9% though above the state's 44.9% — the lowest among nearby schools. Science is the sharpest concern: 14.1% proficiency, far below district (31.4%) and state (25.5%), and the lowest of any nearby school reporting. For contrast, Rice Lake Elementary (73.7% reading, 80.8% math, 50.4% science) and Sunrise Elementary (61.9%, 76.8%, 43.2%) score far higher. Grade-level data points to 5th grade: math 27.0% (district 44.8%, state 41.9%) and science 14.1%, while 5th grade reading (56.3%) is above state.

Lino Lakes Elementary has also slipped from its own recent peak — 67th percentile in 2022–23, then 53rd in 2024–25 and 50th now — with female, low-income and special education students losing ground in recent rankings; English Language Learner students were a bright spot at the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–25. About 32% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, higher than nearby Rice Lake (11.79%) and Centerville Elementary (14.66%), though Golden Lake Elementary (38.32%) and Centennial Elementary (46.61%) post stronger results with greater need. Class size (16.5 students per teacher) is similar to higher-performing Rice Lake Elementary (16.9). The takeaway: a solid reading school with a real, worsening upper-grade math and science problem.
