Summary

East Lake Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Lakeville, Minnesota, serving 844 students in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, which itself ranks in the top fifth of Minnesota districts. East Lake has been a consistently strong performer statewide: it ranked 128th of 869 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (85th percentile, 4 stars) and has held a 4-star rating in the 85th–88th percentile band since 2020–2021, after peaking at the 94th percentile with 5 stars in 2018–2019. It also has the largest enrollment among the nearby schools compared here. That places it comfortably in the top 15% of Minnesota elementary schools.

In 2025–2026, East Lake's proficiency rates were 65.2% in math, 64.1% in reading, and 38.7% in science — well above district rates (53.3% math, 57.8% reading, 37.2% science) and state rates (44.9%, 48.6%, 25.5%). Among nearby schools, only Shannon Park Elementary, at the 89th percentile, ranks higher, and East Lake outperforms every other nearby school in math and reading. Notably, it achieves these results with the highest student-to-teacher ratio (15.8) in the comparison group, including higher ratios than Diamond Path Elementary School Of International Studies (14.5) and Greenleaf Elementary (13.7).

Grade-level and trend data point to a few areas worth watching. Third-grade math is a standout at 76.5%, but fifth-grade math sits at 50.0% — just 0.4 points above the district — while fifth-grade reading is strong at 69.4%. Math proficiency has slipped from 76.98% in 2023–2024, and science has fallen from 58.09% in 2022–2023 to 38.7%, though science remains 13.2 points above the state. The school's effectiveness also varies across student groups: results are very strong for English Language Learner students and several other populations, while rankings for low-income and special education students declined in 2025–2026.
