Elementary Lighthouse

Public Grades 1-6

Summary

Elementary Lighthouse is a public elementary school located in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota, serving grades 1-6 with a total enrollment of 37 students. The school is part of the Spring Lake Park Public Schools district, which is ranked 212 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elementary Lighthouse consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Minnesota, with a statewide ranking of 1st out of 872 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This exceptional academic performance is reflected in the school's significantly higher math and reading proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, Elementary Lighthouse has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.7 to 17.8 over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby Adams Elementary, Hayes Elementary, and Sunnyside Elementary, which have ratios ranging from 10.9 to 17.8.

The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Elementary Lighthouse is relatively low, ranging from 11.11% to 29.73% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 39.64% to 72.39%. This suggests that Elementary Lighthouse serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its exceptional academic performance. However, further investigation would be needed to fully understand the factors behind the school's success and its ability to serve a diverse range of students.
