Summary

Lake Marion Elementary is a K–5 school in Lakeville, MN, serving 727 students as part of Lakeville Area Schools, and it is the largest elementary school among its nearby comparison schools.

Academically, the school is a top performer. In 2025–2026 it ranked 92nd of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 89th percentile, or top roughly 11% in the state — with 4 stars. Its district, Lakeville Area Schools, also ranks well, at 69th of 458 districts statewide (85th percentile, 4 stars). Proficiency is comfortably above both district and state levels: 69.4% in math, 68.8% in reading, and 35.8% in science (a grade-5 assessment). That's about 10–11 points above the district in math and reading, and roughly 20–25 points above the state. Results vary by grade, though. Fourth grade is the standout, with 80.8% math and 75.2% reading — the highest among nearby Lakeville elementaries. Fifth grade math is the soft spot at 56.5%, below the district's 59.7% but still well above the state's 41.9%. Science has also declined over several years, from 56.41% in 2022–2023 to 35.8% in 2025–2026, though it remains above district and state averages.

Among the nine nearby Lakeville elementaries, Lake Marion Elementary ranks 3rd overall, behind Lakeview Elementary and Cherry View Elementary and ahead of Highview Elementary School, Oak Hills Elementary, Eastview Elementary, Kennedy Elementary, Huddleston Elementary, and Orchard Lake Elementary. Compared with Akin Road Elementary and Meadowview Elementary in the Farmington Public School District, Lake Marion posts much higher proficiency. The school also ranks strongly for how well it serves particular student groups — including low-income students (73rd percentile, up from 57th two years ago) and special education students (72nd percentile) — and those rankings have been improving. Operationally, its free/reduced lunch rate fell to 22.01% in 2024–2025, while its student-teacher ratio rose to 15.8, higher than most Lakeville peers except Highview Elementary School. Overall, Lake Marion is a strong choice with above-average outcomes; the areas to watch are 5th grade math and the science trend.
