Summary

Orono Intermediate Elementary is a public school in Long Lake, Minnesota, serving 663 students in grades 3–5 as part of the Orono Public School District. It ranks 33rd out of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 96th percentile — and has earned a 5-star rating every year on record, with percentile ranks ranging from 91st to 98th.

Proficiency runs well above both its district and the state. In 2025–2026, 78.9% of students met standards in math (versus 73.5% in the district and 44.9% statewide), 72.5% in reading (69.9% district, 48.6% state), and 41.3% in science (37.7% district, 25.5% state). The surrounding area is unusually competitive, though. North Woods Elementary School and Hilltop Primary School post higher math and reading results, and Groveland Elementary, Gleason Lake Elementary and Shirley Hills Primary School also rank ahead overall. Students feed in from Schumann Elementary, the PK–2 school just down the road.

Subgroup results are a standout: Hispanic students rank 8th of 256 statewide, special education students 22nd of 579, and low-income students 36th of 764 — and the latter two groups have climbed steadily over three years. Two areas to watch: science, which fell from 73.36% proficiency in 2022–2023 to roughly 41% recently and trails several nearby peers, and 5th grade math, where proficiency drops to 64.3% after 88.1% in 3rd grade and 85.0% in 4th. Reading stays even, with 5th grade at 75.1%. The student–teacher ratio has edged up to 15.4.

My husband and I both graduated from Orono. We currently have 3 kids in the Orono school district. Hands down it is the best school district in the area. Does that mean my kids may have struggles? Possibly, but that would happen in any district. Will the struggles look different? Possible, but that is our job as parents to deal with accordingly as they may arise. My favorites about Orono, go beyond just the small class sizes (which don't get me wrong, are fabulous). I love that starting in Kindergarten, Orono student are participating in a variety of "specials", which they go out of their classroom and are taught by "specialists". These "specials" include world language/Spanish, computer class, art, gym, and music. I just am amazed at, not only the well organized PTO, but by the teachers that are without a doubt A+.
