Summary:
There is only one elementary school in the International Spanish Language Academy area: International Spanish Language Academy, a PK–5 school at 5350 W 78th St, Edina, MN 55439, with 447 students enrolled. It also serves as its own single-school district, International Spanish Language Academy, which ranks 234 of 458 districts (49th percentile, 2 stars).
The school has real strengths. All-grade math proficiency is 48% versus 44.9% statewide, and all-grade reading is 50% versus 48.6%. Fourth grade stands out most: math is 64.4% versus 55.2% statewide and reading is 58.3% versus 48.8%. Fifth-grade reading is also strong at 64.6% versus 54.5%. But results vary sharply by grade. Third-grade reading is 31.3% versus 46.8% statewide, fifth-grade math is 27.1% versus 41.9%, third-grade math is 48.4% versus 57.9%, and science is 18.8% versus 25.5%. Because science is tested only in fifth grade here, that science figure is specifically a fifth-grade concern.
Overall performance has slipped. The school ranked 242 of 881 schools (73rd percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024, 278 of 872 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, and 452 of 869 (48th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math fell 6.71 points while the state fell 0.31, reading fell 11.05 points while the state fell 0.99, and science fell 10.83 points while the state fell 0.65 — dropping science from 3.48 points above state to 6.70 points below. Contextually, the school reports 26.17% free/reduced lunch and a 19.5:1 student-teacher ratio for 2024–2025, though no state benchmarks for those measures are provided.
