About Us

Students at Rum River on the first day of school

Welcome to Rum River Elementary

Rum River Elementary School opened in the fall of 2001. We are located in northern Andover, Minnesota. Our school attendance area extends to portions of Andover, Ramsey, and Ham Lake. We are the Rum River Wolves. Our school mascot is Shadow!

Our goal is to provide excellent learning experiences for every Rum River student. We do this by creating a safe learning environment, teaching from a rigorous curriculum, providing unique opportunities outside the classroom, and involving parents in all aspects of their child’s education and school community. Learn more about curriculum and teaching/learning at each grade level. Rum River’s state assessment results are excellent, performing well above state averages. Explore Rum River’s achievement results.

We have high levels of parent involvement at Rum River! Our parent organization RAFT (Rum River Association of Parents and Teachers) meets every other month on the third or fourth Tuesday of the scheduled month. Meetings are held from 6:30-8:00 and child care is available. RAFT supports our school by organizing fundraising, planning family events, and purchasing items to enhance student learning.
