Summary

Lanesboro Elementary is a PK–6 school with 249 students in Lanesboro, Minnesota, part of the Lanesboro Public School District, and in 2025–2026 it performed above both its district and the state in math (55.4%), reading (50.4%), and science (27.0%). The school ranked 325th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 63rd percentile — a rebound from the 49th percentile in 2024–2025 and 52nd in 2023–2024, though still below its 2018–2019 high of the 78th percentile.

Locally, Lanesboro sits in a competitive area. Among eight nearby elementary schools it ranks 7th, ahead of Rushford-Peterson Elementary (51st percentile) and just behind St. Charles Elementary (65th), while Lewiston-Altura Elementary (92nd), Chatfield Elementary School (88th), Spring Grove Elementary (85th), and Mabel-Canton Elementary (78th) all rank higher. Reading is the weakest comparison: Lanesboro's 50.4% is above the state but beats only Rushford-Peterson locally, and six nearby schools score higher. Science (27.0%) is also above state but below most peers, while math (55.4%) is ahead of three nearby schools. Its free/reduced-lunch rate (39.76%) is on the higher end for the area, and its student–teacher ratio of 14.1 is mid-pack.

Grade-level results reveal two different stories. Third grade is a clear strength — math 76.5% and reading 61.8%, both well above state. But 4th-grade reading (33.3%) falls well below the state and is the lowest among nearby schools, and 6th-grade math (31.3%) and reading (50.0%) are both below state. Science swings widely year to year (12.5% in 2024–2025, 27.0% now) because it is tested in only one grade. One notable bright spot: the low-income student group ranked in the 79th percentile (4 stars), showing the school serves that population relatively well. The student–teacher ratio has also improved dramatically, from 23.3 in 2022–2023 to 14.1.
