Summary:

Schools in the city of Mounds View, Minnesota include three listed campuses—one elementary, one middle, and one high school—serving students from grades 1 through 12 within the Mounds View Public School District, with total enrollment of 1,276 students.

The largest school is Edgewood Middle School (grades 6–8, 639 students), which has the strongest recent ranking of the three: 214 of 546 Minnesota middle schools in 2025-2026, or the 61st percentile with 3 stars, holding steady across three years. Pinewood Elementary (grades 1–5, 523 students) is the clear improver, rising from the 31st to the 43rd percentile over three years, and it is the only city school above the state average in math (47.2 vs 44.9) and science (30.6 vs 25.5). Its science proficiency jumped from 16.49 in 2024-2025 to 30.6 in 2025-2026, moving from below to above the state average. Mounds View Alternative Learning Center (grades 7–12, 114 students) is small and high-need, with the highest free/reduced-price lunch rate (62.28%) and student-teacher ratio (19.4), available math proficiency of 0% in 2025-2026 (6.67% the prior year), and a graduation rate of 63.0% versus the district's 91.2% and the state's 84.9%.

Reading is the shared weak spot: Edgewood (42.1) and Pinewood (41.4) both trail the state's 48.6, while the Alternative Learning Center's reading and science values are suppressed. Grade-level numbers tell a more nuanced story than all-grades figures—Edgewood's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math all exceed state grade-level averages, and Pinewood's 5th grade math and science exceed state averages, though its 3rd and 4th grade math fall below. Note also that the only high school listed here is an alternative learning center, so traditional comprehensive high school results for Mounds View residents may come from schools outside this list.
