Elementary Schools in Spring Lake Park Public Schools

The Spring Lake Park Public Schools district in Minnesota is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and overall quality, with a few standout institutions that are worth highlighting.

At the top of the list is Elementary Lighthouse, a small school with just 24 students that has achieved remarkable success, ranking 1st out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools and earning a perfect 5-star rating. This school boasts 100% proficiency rates in Math and Reading, as well as a 90.91% proficiency rate in Science, setting a high bar for academic excellence. In contrast, Park Terrace Elementary struggles, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages, likely due to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Another standout is Woodcrest Elementary Spanish Immersion, which outperforms the district and state in Math proficiency, with 51.89% of students achieving proficiency across all grades. This school's unique Spanish immersion program appears to be providing additional educational benefits for its diverse student population, which includes a high percentage of Hispanic students. Meanwhile, Northpoint Elementary stands out for its strong performance in both Math and Reading, with proficiency rates that exceed the district and state averages, particularly in 4th grade Math.
