Summary

Seven Hills - Richfield Middle is a grades 6–8 charter middle school in Richfield, Minnesota, serving about 313 students — roughly 100 per grade — as part of the Seven Hills Preparatory Academy network. It is a small school: nearby middle schools enroll 650 to more than 1,000 students, and about 35% of Seven Hills students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academics are strong and trending upward. In 2025–26 the school ranked in the 90th percentile of Minnesota middle schools — its best year in a nine-year record — and it has earned four stars for six straight reporting years. Reading is the standout: 68.9% proficiency, second among nearby schools only to Edina's South View Middle, and 20.3 points above the state. Eighth-grade results are especially strong, at 78.7% reading and 56.5% math. Staffing is another advantage: a 9.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio, roughly half that of Justice Page Middle. Subgroup results are notably even, with English learners in the 97th percentile and low-income and special-education students at or above the 90th.

Three trends are worth watching. Science proficiency has fallen three years running — 49.5% to 33.0% to 24.7% — though it still sits 8.0 points above the 8th-grade state benchmark. Math (46.9%) is above the state but slightly below the network average, and results for Hispanic students have slipped from the 78th to the 67th percentile. Even so, Seven Hills outperforms Richfield Middle, less than half a mile away, by wide margins in math, reading, and science, while serving a lower-income share of students. Bottom line: a high-performing, steadily improving school with a few addressable watch items.
