Summary:
ZIP 55308 in Becker, Minnesota is served by two elementary schools — Becker Primary (grades PK–2) and Becker Intermediate Elementary (grades 3–5) — both part of the Becker Public School District and located side by side on Hancock St SE, together enrolling 1,316 students in an almost even split (672 and 644).
Becker Intermediate is the only one of the two with measurable test results, since Minnesota state testing begins in third grade. It has earned 3 stars for three straight years, placing it between the 61st and 66th percentile of roughly 870 ranked Minnesota elementary schools. In 2025-26, its all-grades proficiency beat the state in math (58.6% vs. 44.9%) and reading (53% vs. 48.6%), and it also beat its own district in both. Science is the exception: only 16.8% of students were proficient, against 25.5% statewide. Becker Primary reports no test scores and no rank history — that is a data-coverage gap, not a sign of weakness. Its 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio is notably smaller than the Intermediate's 16.6:1.
What should parents watch? Science fell from 23.14% to 16.8% in a single year, and fifth grade is the weakest group across all three subjects — it is the only grade below the state in reading. Reading is very stable across grades 3–5 (a spread of just 1.9 points), while math swings widely, from 42.7% in fifth grade to 68.4% in fourth. The Intermediate's free/reduced-lunch rate is 20.5% and Becker Primary's is 22.92%. The district itself rates 4 stars, ranking 137 of 458 districts — a different comparison pool than the school's.
