Summary:
Mounds View, Minnesota is served by a single middle school in this data: Edgewood Middle School, which enrolls 639 students in grades 6–8 and belongs to the Mounds View Public School District, a district rated 4 stars and ranked 86 of 458 districts statewide (81st percentile). Because Edgewood is the only middle school in the city, there is no school-to-school comparison to make within Mounds View; the most useful view is how it performs against its district and the state. Roughly 48.36% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 14.5.
The school's clearest relative strength is math at the grade level, where it edges above the state in all three middle grades: 6th grade math at 42.9% vs the state's 39.5%, 7th grade at 40.5% vs 40.3%, and 8th grade at 43.7% vs 42.3%. Reading is the most consistent weakness — below the state in every grade and lowest in 7th grade at 36.8% against the state's 43.5%. The largest single gap, though, is against the district itself: across all grades Edgewood trails its district by 12.7 points in math, 14.0 points in reading, and 17.4 points in science. Science is also the lowest absolute result, at 18.3%, which is 1.6 points above the state's 8th grade science score but 7.8 points behind the district.
Edgewood has held a 3-star rating in each of the last three school years, and its state rank has hovered in the 57th–62nd percentile (214 of 546 in 2025–2026). Year-over-year results are mixed: math improved slightly while district and state math slipped; reading fell more sharply at Edgewood than at the district or state level; science declined slightly while the district improved. The bottom line for families is a school that is above average statewide in math, particularly by grade level, but that trails its own high-performing district across every subject — with reading and science offering the clearest room for growth.
