Summary:

ZIP code 55322 has two schools counted as elementary, and both actually serve grades K–8 within the Cologne Academy district: Cologne Academy (679 students) and Cologne Academy Online (22 students). Together they enroll 701 students, and the main campus accounts for about 96.9% of that total, so district-level results largely mirror the main campus.

Cologne Academy is the clear standout. Its district ranks #1 of 458 with a 100th percentile rank and 5 stars, and the school itself ranked #7 of 869 in 2025–2026 (top 1%) and #23 of 881 in 2023–2024 (top 3%), holding 5 stars each year. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 84.7% in math versus the state's 44.9%, 79% in reading versus 48.6%, and 59% in science versus 25.5%. Every reported grade-level score beats the matching state figure, with 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 8th grade math all at 88% or above. The lowest main-campus math result, 6th grade at 67.1%, still far exceeds the state's 39.5%.

Cologne Academy Online is much smaller and its data is incomplete — many values are suppressed by the state and should be treated as unknown, not as zero. Its available 2025–2026 results were 46.7% in math (1.8 points above state) and 60% in reading (11.4 points above state), with science suppressed. In 2024–2025 it posted 80% reading, close to the main campus's 82.3%, and 60% math. It also reports 50% free/reduced lunch and a student/teacher ratio of 3.7, versus 13.11% and 11.2 at the main campus, making it a distinctly different setting. With only 22 students, year-to-year swings deserve caution. Science cannot be evaluated for the online school in either year.
