Seven Hills Preparatory Academy

Seven Hills Preparatory Academy is a Minnesota district serving about 1,096 students across three schools — two elementary schools for grades K–5 and one middle school for grades 6–8, with no high school or alternative school in the data set — and it ranks 92 of 458 districts in the state, in the 80th percentile with 4 stars.

Among the three, Seven Hills - Richfield Middle is the standout: it ranks 57 of 546 (90th percentile, 4 stars) and has held 4 stars for three straight years. Its reading results lead the group, with all-grade reading at 68.9% versus 61.7% for the district and 48.6% for the state, and 8th grade reading at 78.7% — the highest single figure in this data. Seven Hills - Burnsville Elementary is the most balanced school: it is above the district in math (55.0% vs. 50.3%) and science (33.3% vs. 27.5%), above the state in all three subjects, and the only school in the group above the state in science. Seven Hills - Richfield Elementary is the most uneven, ranking 369 of 869 (58th percentile, 3 stars) after a much stronger prior year at the 79th percentile and 4 stars; its math fell from 63.76% to 50.3%, reading from 60.67% to 54.0%, and science from 32.65% to 23.6%.

Reading is the clearest shared strength — all three schools beat the state in all-grade reading — while science is the weakest subject everywhere, with only Burnsville above the state. Grade-level math is mixed at the elementary level, where both schools fall below the state's 55.2% in 4th grade math, and Richfield Elementary trails the state in 5th grade math at 38.2% versus 41.9%. The two Richfield schools share one campus but have very different outcomes, and the district's strong overall profile (4 stars, above the state in all subjects) masks that variation. Free/reduced lunch rates are similar across the three schools (35.14% to 37.29%), and student-teacher ratios are low, from 8.0 to 9.2.
