Summary

Eagle Lake Elementary is a K–5 school serving 270 students in the small town of Eagle Lake, Minnesota — roughly 4 to 8 miles from the Mankato–North Mankato core — and one of ten elementary schools in the Mankato Public School District.

It is a strong school by any local measure: a 4-star, top-quintile Minnesota elementary that has never fallen below the 73rd percentile in ten years of rankings, with a 5-star peak at the 95th percentile in 2022–23. Math is its signature — 77.6% of students proficient, the best in its comparison group, 22.6 points above its district and 32.7 points above the state. Science is also comfortably above both district and state, and its 4th-grade (87.0) and 5th-grade (84.0) math results are the highest of any nearby school at those grades. Reading is more ordinary at 61.2%, about the peer average, and trails Bridges Community Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary.

The items to watch: the school has slipped four straight years, from the 95th to the 83rd percentile, while most nearby schools are climbing. Third grade is the clear weak spot — 57.9% proficient in math, the second-lowest in the group, and 39.5% in reading, the lowest of all eleven schools; because each grade holds only about 45 students, a single unusual cohort can swing those numbers, so next year's results will show whether this is a blip or a trend. Reading and science have both come down from their 2022–23 highs. One quiet strength worth knowing: students from lower-income families perform at the 84th percentile, matching the school as a whole.
