Summary

Andersen Elementary is a PK–5 school in Bayport, Minnesota, serving 327 students in the Stillwater-area community as part of Stillwater Area Public Schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 415th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranked 47th of 458 districts (90th percentile, 4 stars). That makes Andersen a mid-pack statewide school that sits below its own high-performing district. The school has improved from the 30th–42nd percentile range in 2022–2024 to 50th in 2024–2025 and 52nd in 2025–2026, so the current picture is a partial recovery, not a full return to its earlier 87th–89th percentile levels.

In 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency, the school had 52.3% math, 46.4% reading, and 26.5% science. It was above the state in math and science but slightly below the state in reading, and it trailed its district in all three subjects: math by 5.7 points, reading by 12.8 points, and science by 7.9 points. Among nearby same-district regular elementary schools, it had the lowest math and reading proficiency. Lake Elmo Elementary, Afton-Lakeland Elementary, Stonebridge Elementary, Rutherford Elementary, and Lily Lake Elementary all ranked higher. Gate 4/5 and St. Croix Preparatory Academy Lower post exceptional scores, but they are specialized or charter comparisons rather than typical neighborhood peers. Grade-level results show 4th-grade math at 42.0% proficient—26.4 points below district and 13.2 points below state—and reading below district in grades 3, 4, and 5.

Context metrics add nuance. Its free/reduced lunch rate was 18.04% in 2024–2025, and its student-teacher ratio was 17.4, on the high end among nearby regular elementaries. Subgroup rankings are uneven: special education students ranked 73rd percentile in 2025–2026, above the school’s overall rank, while low-income students ranked 19th percentile. The clearest positives are the recent rank improvement, stronger math than a few years ago, and relatively strong special education results. The main concerns are reading below district and state, a severe 4th-grade math gap, and uneven effectiveness across student groups.
