Mission:
Golden Lake Elementary celebrates diversity and pursues higher levels of learning in a safe and respectful environment

About Us:

Golden Lake Elementary, located in Circles Pines, prepares students for life by inspiring them to grow academically, emotionally and socially. We pride ourselves for a focus on the acquisition of high-level academic skills and on healthy social, physical and emotional development.

With a diverse student body, Golden Lake is a top-performing school, earning the state’s “Reward School” designation twice for remarkable achievements in individual academic growth, student proficiency and achievement gap reductions. Our math and reading scores are far above the averages of both the state and neighboring districts.

We couple high expectations for our students with a deep commitment to relationships. At Golden Lake, we understand that relationships are the fuel that drives the engine of success. Our staff work as a team and genuinely care about each other, creating a culture of collaboration and cooperation. Our ability to respect, celebrate and learn from our differences is central to what ties us together.
