Summary:
Minnetonka Public School District serves roughly 11,238 students across 12 schools — 7 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high schools — and ranks 9th of 458 Minnesota districts, at the 98th percentile with a 5-star rating. Enrollment is highly concentrated: Minnetonka Senior High alone enrolls 3,514 students, about 31% of the district, while the smallest programs are Tonka Online K-5 (25 students), Shorewood Education Center (35), and Tonka Online (97). District proficiency beats the state in every subject: math 73.1% vs 44.9%, reading 73.0% vs 48.6%, and science 46.9% vs 25.5%.
The standout schools are exceptional statewide. Minnetonka East Middle ranks 3rd of 546 middle schools and Minnetonka West Middle 7th, both at the 99th percentile. Among elementaries, Scenic Heights Elementary ranks 8th of 869, with the strongest elementary scores in math (87.1%), reading (78.4%), and science (64.0%). Groveland Elementary (21st) and Excelsior Elementary (22nd) are close behind and notably stable. At the high school level, Minnetonka Senior High ranks 12th of 473 with a 97.2% graduation rate and a 0.6% dropout rate. Clear Springs Elementary improved from 96th to 85th and gained 5 stars.
Science is the relative weak spot at several schools — around 38% at the middle schools and below 45% at Groveland and Deephaven Elementary — though still above state averages. Deephaven slipped from 60th to 94th and dropped to 4 stars. Minnewashta Elementary ranks 53rd. Tonka Online and Tonka Online K-5 have small enrollments, higher poverty rates, many state-suppressed values, and volatile results, so treat them separately, as should Shorewood, which has no test-score data.
