Summary

Oak-Land Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Lake Elmo, Minnesota, serving 946 students as part of Stillwater Area Public Schools, a district ranked in the top 10% of Minnesota school districts.

Oak-Land is a 4-star school, ranked 81st of 546 Minnesota middle schools in 2025–2026 — the 85th percentile — up from the 75th percentile two years earlier. Reading is its standout subject, with 58.4% of students proficient, nearly 10 points above the state and close to the district's 59.2%. Seventh-grade reading, at 62.3%, beats both the district and Stillwater Middle School. Math, at 50.2%, also tops the state's 44.9% but trails the district's 58%, and it slips from 52.7% in 6th grade to 49.8% in 7th and 48.3% in 8th. Science is the clearest concern: 19.6% proficiency, well below the district's 34.4% and the state's 25.5%.

Among nearby schools, Oak-Land is strong but not top-tier — behind St. Croix Prep Academy Middle, Lake Middle School, and Stillwater Middle School, and ahead of Woodbury Middle School and Skyview Middle School. Notably, Oak-Land outperforms Woodbury Middle in all three subjects despite very similar free/reduced-lunch rates (22.73% vs. 24.22%) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (20.2 vs. 23.8). Effectiveness rankings vary by student group: Hispanic students rank in the 90th percentile statewide, while Asian students rank in the 43rd. Poverty and staffing measures have both improved in recent years.
