Summary:
Eden Valley, Minnesota has two schools — one elementary and one secondary — both in the Eden Valley-Watkins School District, serving about 808 students in total. Eden Valley Elementary covers grades K–6 with 383 students, and Eden Valley Secondary covers grades 7–12 with 425 students. There is no standalone middle school, so middle-grade results are folded into the secondary school's data. The district ranks 93 of 458 Minnesota districts (80th percentile) and holds 4 stars; both schools also carry 4 stars.
Academically, Eden Valley Elementary is the stronger performer, beating both its district and the state in all three tested subjects. Math proficiency is 61.3% versus the district's 54.7% and the state's 44.9%; reading is 53.6% versus 49.3% and 48.6%; science is 45.3% versus 34.1% and 25.5%. Its science rate is nearly 1.8 times the state rate. Eden Valley Secondary scores 46.2% in math, 43.7% in reading, and 29.4% in science — above the state in math and science, but below the state in reading and below the district in all three. The gap between the two schools is largest in science (15.9 points) and math (15.1 points).
The secondary school's standout strength is completion: a 93.0% graduation rate and 2.7% dropout rate, well better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Reading is its main weak spot, including 7th grade (41.1% vs state 43.5%) and 8th grade (44.1% vs 50.0%), though 10th grade reading (45.6%) beats the state. By grade level, elementary 5th grade shines — 70.4% math, 69.8% reading, 45.3% science — while 4th grade trails the state in math and reading.
