Summary

Lakeaires Elementary is a PK–5 school in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, in the Ramsey County area, serving about 396 students as part of the White Bear Lake School District.

Lakeaires is currently performing well below its own district and below the state. In 2025–26 it ranked 612th of 869 comparable Minnesota elementary schools — the 30th percentile and a 1-star rating — inside a district that is itself a 3-star, 57th-percentile district statewide. This is not a one-year dip: the school spent 2018–2021 in the 60th–75th percentile with up to 4 stars and has slipped steadily since 2021–22. In 2025–26, 31.6% of students met standards in math (district 48.6%, state 44.9%) and 37.7% in reading (district 54.1%, state 48.6%). Science is the exception at 29.2%, above both the district and the state.

The gaps stand out most clearly next to nearby schools. Vadnais Heights Elementary, 2.8 miles away in the same district and with a similar share of low-income students, posts nearly double Lakeaires' math proficiency (60.2%) and 56.6% in reading. Willow Lane Elementary and Richardson Elementary score almost identically in math and reading despite serving far more low-income students. Meanwhile Lincoln Elementary (96th percentile) and Matoska International (74th percentile) show what the top of this district looks like, and O.H. Anderson Elementary in the Mahtomedi Public School District ranks 92nd percentile. Third-grade reading is the biggest concern at 14.6%, roughly 33 points below district and state, while fifth-grade reading (56.3%) beats the state and science is a genuine strength. Students from low-income families have also fallen to the 8th percentile statewide — a service-delivery signal worth asking the school about.
