Summary:
Shakopee Public School District serves roughly 7,686 students across 11 schools in the Shakopee area of Minnesota — six elementary schools (counting a PK–8 Special Services program), two middle schools serving grades 6–8, and three high schools serving grades 9–12 (including two small alternative settings).
Overall the district rates 47th percentile with 2 stars, ranking 243 of 458, and enrollment is heavily concentrated at Shakopee High School, which alone has 2,823 students. Elementary schools are the clear bright spot. Eagle Creek Elementary School is the strongest overall, with 49.8% math and 57.5% reading proficiency — above both the district (38.2% math, 47.2% reading) and the state (44.9% math, 48.6% reading). Sun Path Elementary posts the highest math score in the district at 51.2%, and Jackson Elementary has 53.9% reading and the top elementary science result at 33%. Sweeney Elementary also beats district averages in math and reading. Shakopee High School has a strong 89.1% graduation rate and low 3.7% dropout rate, but reading (42.8%) trails the district and state, and its rank slipped from 76th to 67th percentile.
The weakest results cluster at Red Oak Elementary (31.8% math, 38.9% reading, 9% science, falling from 51st to 23rd percentile) and at both middle schools: Shakopee West Middle School (10.3% science) and Shakopee East Middle School (8.8% science), both far below district (22%) and state (25.5%). Tokata Learning Center shows the most severe outcomes (0 stars, 24.4% graduation, 22.2% dropout), though it is a very small alternative school. Where a dash “—” appears, the state suppressed the figure, so it is unknown rather than zero. Notably, poverty rates and student-teacher ratios do not neatly line up with performance: Red Oak has the lowest ratio among regular schools but the weakest outcomes.
