Summary:

Maple Grove, Minnesota is home to 15 schools serving roughly 11,061 students — 10 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools, with grades running from kindergarten through 12th grade — operated by Osseo Public School District, Parnassus Preparatory School, Minnesota Excellence in Learning Ac, and Intermediate School District 287.

The city's clearest standout is Parnassus Prep School-Rhetoric, which ranked #11 of 473 high schools statewide (98th percentile, 5 stars), with math 59.6%, reading 66.7%, science 58.8%, a 97.6% graduation rate, and a 2.3% dropout rate. Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School ranked #114 of 869 elementary schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), with math 67.4%, reading 65.1%, and science 42.3%. Basswood Elementary (70.3% math), Fernbrook Elementary, and Rush Creek Elementary are also 4-star schools. Maple Grove Senior High, the largest school at 2,453 students, beats the state in math (54.5%) and science (30.6%) and matches it in reading (48.6%), with a 94.1% graduation rate.

Citywide averages across reporting schools are about 53.2% math, 50.6% reading, and 27.7% science, above the state's 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Science is the weakest subject: Maple Grove Middle School (15.8%), Rice Lake Elementary (13.5%), Elm Creek Elementary (16.5%), and Parnassus Preparatory School-Logic (17.6%) all fall below the state's 25.5%. Minnesota Excellence in Learning Ac ranks #767 of 869 (12th percentile, 1 star), with math 18.5%, reading 22.8%, and the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 73.16%. Free/reduced lunch often tracks with lower scores, but not always — Parnassus Rhetoric (36.82%) and Weaver Lake (29.34%) both score well. Student-teacher ratios range from 9.2 at School #533 to 22.1 at Maple Grove Senior High, though ratio alone doesn't predict performance. School #533's test scores are suppressed by the state, so its academics are unknown, not low. Rank trends vary too: Weaver Lake improved from 77th to 87th percentile, while Fernbrook, Basswood, and Rush Creek slipped from 5-star levels.
