Summary:
The city of Mound, Minnesota is home to two standout schools, Grandview Middle School and Shirley Hills Primary School, both part of the highly-ranked Westonka Public School District. These schools consistently perform at the top of their respective grade levels, with Grandview Middle School ranking 10th out of 529 Minnesota middle schools and Shirley Hills Primary School ranking 32nd out of 845 Minnesota elementary schools.
Grandview Middle School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students significantly outpacing the state average in MCA-III Math and Reading proficiency across all grade levels. The school's 7th-grade students achieved 77.84% proficiency in Math and 73.86% proficiency in Reading, compared to the state averages of 39.7% and 45.21%, respectively. Shirley Hills Primary School also demonstrates strong academic achievement, with its 3rd-grade students achieving 85.71% proficiency in Math and 74.12% proficiency in Reading, surpassing the state averages.
Both schools serve a relatively homogeneous student population, with a predominance of white students. However, the schools' low percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, 19.73% at Grandview Middle School and 23.69% at Shirley Hills Primary School, suggest a relatively affluent student body. This may contribute to the schools' academic success, but it is important to ensure that all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
