Summary

St. Michael Elementary is a grades 1–4 elementary school in Saint Michael, Minnesota, serving 654 students as part of the St. Michael-Albertville Schools district. About 21% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-to-teacher ratio is 16.2 — moderate numbers that place the school in the middle of its surrounding area rather than in an unusually wealthy or unusually small setting.

Academically, St. Michael Elementary is strong and above average. In 2025–2026, 71.9% of students were proficient in Math and 64.7% in Reading, compared with district rates of 58.2% and 59.9% and state rates of 44.9% and 48.6%. Statewide, it ranked 101st of 869 schools (88th percentile, 4 stars), up from 154th the year before. Among tested 1–4 elementaries in its own district, it leads Big Woods Elementary (67.7% Math, 60.3% Reading) and Fieldstone Elementary School (65.6%, 61.7%). It is not the top performer nearby, however: Hanover Elementary (79.2% Math, 70.1% Reading), Prairie View Elementary School (78.8%, 65.6%) and Rogers Elementary (79.3%, 64.4%) all post higher overall results and higher rank percentiles, while St. Michael Elementary stays ahead of Otsego Elementary, Hassan Elementary and far ahead of Kaleidoscope Charter Elementary School.

What sets this school apart is how well it serves specific groups. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status students is 31st of 764 — 96th percentile, 5 stars — higher than its overall percentile and a sharp jump from the 80th percentile a year earlier. Special Education students rank in the 66th percentile, the lowest reported subgroup but an improvement from 48th in 2023–2024. Math has held steady near 72% for three years, while Reading rebounded in 2025–2026 to 64.7% after dipping to 57.23% the prior year, when it fell below the district. The school's statewide rank has not returned to the 92nd–98th percentile peaks it posted between 2015–2016 and 2021–2022, but it remains clearly above average, competitive with surrounding high performers, and especially effective for low-income students.
