While Heron Lake-Okabena Elementary has some areas of strength, such as its diverse student population and low student-teacher ratio, it also faces challenges in terms of academic performance, particularly in math and science.

Further analysis and targeted interventions could be beneficial in addressing these areas of concern and improving educational outcomes for the students in this community.
