Summary:
Eagle Ridge Academy Lower School is the only elementary school in the Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School district, serving grades K–5 to 830 students at 11111 Bren Rd W in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Because it is the sole elementary school in this district, there are no peer schools to compare it against; the most useful benchmarks are the district aggregate, statewide averages, and the school's own prior-year results. Context metrics for 2024–2025 include a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and 31.33% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
Math is this school's clear strength. In 2025–2026, 76% of students were proficient in math, compared with 44.9% statewide — 31.1 percentage points higher. Grade-level results were strong across the board: 86.5% in 3rd grade, 76.8% in 4th grade, and 64.5% in 5th grade, each well above the state average. Reading was also above state at 62% versus 48.6%, and remarkably steady by grade (61.7%, 62.8%, and 61.4%). Science is the exception and the main area of concern: 22.3% proficiency falls below both the state (25.5%) and the district (33.8%), and is down sharply from 39.42% in 2024–2025.
Rankings tell a similar story of consistent strength with a recent dip. The Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School district ranks 16th of 458 in Minnesota — the 97th percentile with 5 stars — while Eagle Ridge Academy Lower School ranked 155th of 869 in 2025–2026, the 82nd percentile with 4 stars. The school placed in the 90th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 85th in 2023–2024, so it remains in the top fifth of Minnesota elementary schools. Families can expect strong math and reading instruction, and should watch whether science proficiency recovers.
