Summary

Andersen Elementary is a public elementary school located in Bayport, Minnesota, serving 326 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Stillwater Area Public Schools district, which is ranked 93 out of 446 districts in the state.

Academically, Andersen Elementary has consistently ranked in the lower half of Minnesota elementary schools, with below-average performance on MCA-III assessments compared to the district and state averages, particularly in math and reading proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's math proficiency was 51.59%, compared to 58.25% for the district and 45.21% for the state. Similarly, its reading proficiency was 48.1%, compared to 60.96% for the district and 49.59% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with some groups, such as female students and special education students, performing relatively better than the overall school.

Andersen Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 16.71% to 21.19% over the past three school years. This is higher than the nearby Lake Elmo Elementary (24.92%) and Stonebridge Elementary (13.43%), but lower than more socioeconomically disadvantaged schools like New Heights Elementary (69.44%) and Marine Area Community School (17.46%). The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 15.2 over the past three years, suggests it has the capacity to provide more individualized attention, though this has not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes.
