Summary:
ZIP code 56511 is served by one elementary school: Lake Park Audubon Elementary in Audubon, MN, a PK–6 school with 275 students in the Lake Park Audubon School District. The school reports a 41.09% free/reduced lunch rate and a 7.9 student-teacher ratio, which may indicate smaller classes. Its current school rank is 458 of 869 (47th percentile, 2 stars), and the district ranks 261 of 458 (43rd percentile, 2 stars).
Reading is the school’s clearest strength. Overall reading is 50.6% proficient, above the district’s 45.3% and the state’s 48.6%. Third-grade reading is 52.6% vs. 46.8% statewide, and fifth-grade reading exactly matches the state at 54.5%. Math, however, is the biggest concern: overall math fell from 49.66% in 2024-2025 to 41.8% in 2025-2026, moving from 4.45 points above state to 3.1 points below state. Grade-level math drops from 68.4% in 3rd grade to 24.1% in 6th, a 44.3-point gap. Science is the weakest subject at 18.2% overall, 7.3 points below state, though it improved from 11.48% the prior year.
For parents, the school outperforms its district in all three all-grade subjects: +5.0 points in math, +5.3 in reading, and +0.8 in science. But only reading is above the state average. The school’s rank history shows 57th percentile in 2023-2024, 50th in 2024-2025, and 47th in 2025-2026, with stars dropping from 3 to 2. The main takeaways: reading is a relative strength, science is low but improving, and math has declined enough to become a below-state result. Upper-elementary math, especially 6th grade at 24.1% vs. 39.5% statewide, is a specific area to watch.
