ELEMENTARY LIGHTHOUSE

ELEMENTARY LIGHTHOUSE is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the SPRING LAKE PARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS school district, located in SPRING LAKE PARK, MN with about 44 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 3 teachers, ELEMENTARY LIGHTHOUSE has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Lighthouse School (often referred to as Lighthouse Elementary within the Spring Lake Park School District) is a specialized educational facility located at 7925 Able St in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota. Unlike a traditional neighborhood elementary school, Lighthouse functions as an alternative learning environment designed to meet the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of students who may benefit from a more personalized or non-traditional approach to instruction. The school emphasizes a supportive, small-group setting that prioritizes student well-being as a foundation for academic achievement.

As part of the Spring Lake Park Schools district, the program is deeply integrated into the district’s "personalized learning" philosophy, which focuses on student agency, flexible pacing, and building strong relationships between staff and families. The curriculum is tailored to help students develop the coping strategies and self-regulation skills necessary to succeed in a classroom environment. By fostering a close-knit community, Lighthouse strives to help students overcome barriers to learning and successfully transition, whether they remain in the program or eventually return to a general education setting.
