Summary:
ZIP code 56024 is served by a single public school: Eagle Lake Elementary, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 270 students in the Mankato Public School District. Because there are no middle, high, or alternative schools listed here, families in this area will move to other campuses for secondary grades. In 2024–2025, 32.22% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio was 13.1.
Eagle Lake Elementary performs well above both its district and the state. In 2025–2026 all-grade results, math proficiency was 77.6% (district 55.0%, state 44.9%), reading 61.2% (district 54.3%, state 48.6%), and science 36.0% (district 26.4%, state 25.5%). Grade-level results show where the strength lies: 4th grade math reached 87.0% and 5th grade math 84.0%, far above state averages, while reading rises from 39.5% in 3rd grade to 67.4% in 4th and 72.0% in 5th. Third grade is the clear weak point — math at 57.9% matches the state but trails the district, and 3rd grade reading at 39.5% falls below both.
The school holds a 4-star rating and ranked 146 out of 869 schools (83rd percentile) in 2025–2026, with the Mankato Public School District ranking 105 of 458 districts. Two trends are worth watching: all-grade math slipped from 83.45% to 77.6% year over year, and the rank percentile has drifted from 90 to 87 to 83 across three years. Even so, Eagle Lake Elementary remains a strong choice, with 3rd grade reading and math as the areas to monitor.
