Summary:
Shoreview, Minnesota is home to three high schools — Lionsgate Academy - Shoreview (grades 7–12, 189 students), Lionsgate Academy - Lynx Program (grades 7–12, 22 students), and REACH Academy (grades 6–12, 22 students) — with the two Lionsgate programs operating within the Lionsgate Academy district and REACH Academy within the Mounds View Public School District. Enrollment is small across all three, and student-teacher ratios are low (2.4 to 3.6), consistent with specialized settings.
REACH Academy has the strongest district context: Mounds View ranks 86 of 458 districts statewide, in the 81st percentile with 4 stars, and its district scores exceed the state in math (54.9% vs 44.9%), reading (56.1% vs 48.6%), and science (35.7% vs 25.5%). REACH also has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 63.64%. However, all of its school-level test scores are suppressed, so its own performance is unknown — not zero and not evidence of weakness. The same is true for the Lynx Program, whose 2025–2026 school-level results are likewise suppressed.
Lionsgate Academy - Shoreview is the largest school and the only one with school-level test data. Science is its clear strength: all-grade science is 42.9% versus the state's 25.5%, and 8th grade science is 33.3% versus 16.7%. Math is its clearest weakness, at 19.2% all-grade versus 44.9% statewide. Reading is mixed, with 8th grade at 50.0% matching the state while all-grade reading is 38.3% versus 48.6%. Its reported graduation rate is 32.2% against a state rate of 84.9%, alongside a 0.0% dropout rate — a combination that likely reflects alternative pathways, transfers, or continuing students rather than simply no dropouts.
