Summary:
Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School is the single high school in the Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School district in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving grades 6–12 to 702 students with a 12.8 student-teacher ratio. Because there is only one school here, the most useful comparisons are against Minnesota state averages, the school's own prior years, and district-level figures where they differ.
The school is a consistent standout statewide. In 2025–2026 it ranked #5 of 473 Minnesota high schools at the 99th percentile with 5 stars, following #5 of 450 in 2024–2025 and #7 of 480 in 2023–2024 — placing it in the top 1–1.5% of the state across three straight years, not a one-year fluke. Proficiency beats the state in every reported subject and grade. All-grade scores in 2025–2026 were Math 64.4 vs. 44.9, Reading 62.3 vs. 48.6, and Science 42.3 vs. 25.5. The biggest advantages came in 11th-grade Math (74.4 vs. 35.3) and End-of-Course Science (74.3 vs. 35.0), both more than double the state rate. Even the smallest margin, 8th-grade Science at 23.5 vs. 16.7, remained above average. Completion outcomes are strong too: an 88.2% graduation rate against the state's 84.9%, and a 1.4% dropout rate against 4.2%, roughly a third of the state figure, while 36.32% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.
Two watch points stand out. All-grade proficiency slipped in 2025–2026 versus 2024–2025 — Math down about 6.4 points and Reading and Science each down about 10.8 points — even though state averages barely moved; note the reading test changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV, so that comparison deserves caution. Also, Science splits sharply internally, with 8th grade at 23.5 and End of Course at 74.3, and 7th grade is the weakest middle-school band in both Math (56.8) and Reading (55.2). School and district all-grade figures sometimes diverge, so the school-level numbers are the more specific measure.
