Summary

Seven Hills - Burnsville Elementary is a K–5 school serving 480 students in Burnsville, MN, part of the Seven Hills Preparatory Academy district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 268th out of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 69th percentile, earning 3 stars — while its district ranks 92nd out of 458 districts (80th percentile, 4 stars). That is a solidly above-average standing, but it marks a noticeable slide: from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019 the school ranked between 10th and 45th statewide (95th–99th percentile, 5 stars), and it was still 87th percentile in 2022–2023 before falling to 85th, then 64th, then 69th in the two most recent years.

Current proficiency rates are 55% in math (above the district's 50.3% and the state's 44.9%), 57.4% in reading (above the state's 48.6% but below the district's 61.7%), and 33.3% in science (above the district's 27.5% and the state's 25.5%). Among nearby schools, Seven Hills is the second-strongest performer in all three subjects, behind only Glendale Elementary (71.2% math, 64.9% reading, 36.8% science). It far outpaces its closest neighbors, Hidden Valley Elementary (0.87 miles away) and Edward Neill Elementary (0.9 miles), by roughly 14 to 31 points in math and reading. Notably, Seven Hills has the lowest student-teacher ratio in this group at 8:1, and its 35.8% free/reduced lunch rate is the second-lowest.

Grade-level data shows 5th grade as a strength, with reading (65%), science (33.3%), and math (48.8%) all above district and state. Science, however, has fallen sharply from 62% in 2022–2023 and 66.67% in 2023–2024. Reading has trailed the district since 2023–2024. Effectiveness for specific student groups is mixed: Asian students (83rd–87th percentile) and African American students (77th–88th percentile) have been consistently strong, and special education students improved to the 73rd percentile in 2025–2026, while English language learner students fell from the 96th to the 42nd percentile and low-socioeconomic-status students from the 87th to the 44th percentile.
