Summary:
ZIP code 56442 has two elementary schools, both in the Crosslake Community Charter School district: Crosslake Community Seat Based, a K–8 school with 150 students, and Crosslake Community K-5 Online, a K–5 online program with 33 students. The district overall ranks 358th of 458 in Minnesota — the 22nd percentile — with 1 star.
On the available test results, Crosslake Community Seat Based is the stronger of the two. In 2025–2026, 51.5% of its students were proficient in reading, above the district's 41.0% and the state's 48.6%. Science was 26.3%, above the district's 16.0% and slightly above the state's 25.5%. Math was 40.9%, above the district's 23.2% but below the state's 44.9%. The online school's available scores are much lower — 7.7% proficient in math and 9.1% in reading, both well below district and state — and its science score was suppressed. Where the two can be compared, Seat Based is 33.2 percentage points higher in math and 42.4 points higher in reading.
The surrounding context also differs. In 2024–2025, Crosslake Community K-5 Online had a free/reduced lunch rate of 63.64% and a student/teacher ratio of 16.1, compared with 36.67% and 8.3 at Seat Based. Seat Based's state rank improved from 578 of 872 (34th percentile) to 510 of 869 (41st percentile), though it still holds 2 stars. Importantly, the online school has many suppressed values, including all grade-level results and science; those are unknown, not zero or failure, and with only 33 students the state hides them to protect student privacy.
