Summary:

Zip code 55013 is home to three elementary schools — Chisago Lakes Elementary (PK–1), Lakeside Elementary (2–5), and Taylors Falls Elementary (PK–5) — all part of the Chisago Lakes School District, which is ranked 162 of 458 in Minnesota at the 65th percentile with a 3-star rating. Together they enroll about 1,480 students, and Lakeside Elementary alone accounts for roughly 54% of that total.

Lakeside Elementary is the largest school (804 students) and the strongest performer among those with test data. Its proficiency is 49.7% in math, 52.9% in reading, and 26.9% in science — above the state in all three, though slightly below the district in math and reading. Its rank history has slipped, however: from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to 69th in 2024–2025 to 57th in 2025–2026, while math fell from 62.91% to 49.7% year over year.

Taylors Falls Elementary (329 students) holds a 2-star rating and a 43rd percentile rank, up slightly from 41. Its standout result is 5th-grade reading at 66.7%, higher than both district (58.7%) and state (54.5%), but its science proficiency is only 16.7%, far below the district (26.0%) and state (25.5%). Chisago Lakes Elementary serves only PK–1, so it has no MCA scores or rank in this dataset; that reflects its grade span rather than low performance. It has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (17.29%) and a student-teacher ratio of 11.7, compared with 17.4 at Lakeside Elementary.
