Summary

La Ola Del Lago at Grainwood is a K–5 elementary school in Prior Lake, MN, serving 463 students as part of Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools. It sits in a strong local district and stands out as one of Minnesota’s top-performing elementary schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 87th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools, placing it in the 90th percentile with 5 stars. That is an improvement from 2024–2025, when it ranked 163rd of 872, and it is close to its 2021–2022 peak.

Reading is the school’s clearest strength. All-grade reading proficiency is 71.6%, which is 12.9 points above the district and 23.0 points above the state. Grade-level results are especially strong in grades 4 and 5: 4th-grade reading is 70.1% and 5th-grade reading is 80.0%. Among nearby same-district schools, La Ola Del Lago at Grainwood has the highest reading proficiency listed. Math is also strong at 65.3%, above the district’s 60.3% and the state’s 44.9%, though Redtail Ridge Elementary School, Glendale Elementary, and Jeffers Pond Elementary post higher math proficiency. Grade-level math declines from 73.3% in 3rd grade to 53.3% in 5th grade.

Science proficiency is 41.4%, above the district’s 29.0% and state’s 25.5%, but below Redtail Ridge Elementary School at 55.4% and Jeffers Pond Elementary at 46.4%. A major differentiator is subgroup effectiveness: the school ranks in the 94th–97th percentile for special education students, low-income students in the year shown, and Hispanic students. Its free/reduced-lunch rate was 14.25% in 2024–2025, lower than many nearby out-of-district schools such as Eagle Creek Elementary School, Harriet Bishop Elementary, Red Oak Elementary, and Aspen Academy. The student-teacher ratio was 17.0, improved from 19.1 in 2022–2023. Overall, La Ola Del Lago at Grainwood is a high-performing, equity-strong school with reading excellence; math and science remain above district and state averages even when a few very strong same-district peers lead locally.
