Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, the most meaningful comparisons are against its district and the state as a whole.
The school stands out on both counts. It holds a 4-star SchoolDigger rating and ranked 237 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 73rd percentile — while the district ranked 154 of 458, or the 66th percentile, with 3 stars. In 2025–2026 all-grades proficiency, math reached 60.5% versus 43.9% for the district and 44.9% for the state; reading was 58.3% versus 49.3% and 48.6%; science was 30.5% versus 25.8% and 25.5%. Grade-level results follow the same pattern: 5th-grade math hit 53.7% against 41.9% for both district and state, 5th-grade reading was 64.2% against 63.3% and 54.5%, and 4th-grade reading was 55.6%, above both benchmarks even though the district sat slightly below the state. Science remains the lowest absolute subject at 30.5%, but it still exceeds both comparisons.
Proficiency did slip year over year, falling from 65.89% to 60.5% in math, 61.92% to 58.3% in reading, and 32.67% to 30.5% in science — though the school remained ahead of district and state in every subject. Its statewide rank also eased from the 81st percentile in 2023–2024 and 80th in 2024–2025 to the 73rd in 2025–2026, while keeping 4 stars. Overall, families in this area have one elementary option, and it continues to perform well above the Minnesota average.
