Summary

Osakis Elementary is a PK–6 public school serving 472 students in the small lakes-area community of Osakis, Minnesota, and it ranks among the stronger elementary schools in the state — 139th of 869 elementary schools in 2025–2026, the 84th percentile with 4 stars, within the Osakis Public School District, which ranks 102nd of 458 districts.

Proficiency is above both district and state averages. Math is the standout: 72% of students met standards, compared with 62.9% in the district and 44.9% statewide, and every grade 3–6 tops the state math average. Reading sits at 62.6% (state 48.6%) and science at 29% (state 25.5%). Against nearby schools, Osakis lands in the upper-middle tier — behind smaller, lower-poverty schools such as Miltona Elementary (84.3% math), Minnewaska Area Elementary (83.5%) and Carlos Elementary (83%) in math, but ahead of Garfield Elementary, Voyager Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Woodland Elementary School, Sauk Centre Elementary and Long Prairie-Grey Eagle Elementary. It clearly outperforms the latter two, which serve higher-poverty populations.

One of the school's most distinctive strengths is how well it serves students from low-income families: in 2025–2026 it ranked in the 94th percentile for low socioeconomic status students (5 stars), a pattern that has held for several years. About 35.81% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, down from 46.41% two years earlier, and the student–teacher ratio is 14.6. The clearest concern is 3rd grade reading at 38.6%, below the state 3rd grade average of 46.8%, even though grades 4–6 read at 64.5% to 74%. Science has also swung widely year to year, falling from much higher results in 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 to 23.08% in 2024–2025 before recovering to 29%. Overall: strong math, generally strong reading, and notable success with low-income students.
