Summary

FAIR School Pilgrim Lane is a K–5 elementary school in Plymouth, Minnesota, serving 403 students as part of the Robbinsdale Public School District. It is one of the smaller elementary schools in its immediate area, and unlike most nearby district peers it is a straight K–5 building rather than one that also includes preschool classrooms. The most important context is that it performs well above its district: the district ranks 335th of 458 statewide (27th percentile, 1 star), while FAIR ranks 337th of 869 elementary schools (61st percentile, 3 stars). Its statewide climb from the 26th percentile in 2020–2021 to the low 60s by 2023–2024 has since plateaued.

In 2025–2026, FAIR’s math proficiency was 54.5% and reading was 59.6%, both far above district and state averages. Science was the weak spot at 15.8%, below both the district (16.1%) and the state (25.5%). Among ten nearby comparison schools, FAIR is second only to School of Engineering-Arts at Olson in math and reading. It clearly outpaces its closest neighbor, Sonnesyn Elementary (about 0.96 miles away), where math is 16.7% and reading is 26.8%, and it also beats Meadow Lake Elementary (22.0% math, 26.6% reading). It produces near-identical results to Zachary Lane Elementary, with a similar free/reduced-lunch rate, and it does so with a leaner student–teacher ratio of 16.3.

The school’s main concerns are concentrated rather than broad. Fifth grade is the weak point: math is 21.1%, below the district’s 22.8% and far below the state’s 41.9%, while reading (46.6%) and science (15.8%) are also below state. Special education students have shown the most dramatic change, falling from the 72nd percentile two years ago to the 22nd percentile (1 star). Boys also slipped from the 72nd to the 54th percentile in one year, while girls improved from 47 to 63. Overall, FAIR is a strong choice with results well above most nearby schools, but parents should ask how the school supports fifth grade and special education students.
