That is lower than every nearby school with rank data — from Lake Harriet Upper Elementary (100th percentile, 5 stars), Burroughs Elementary (99), Kenny Elementary (97) and Field Elementary (96) down to Green Central Elementary (39), Southside Family Charter School (32, 2024–25), Hennepin Schools Lower Campus (25) and Lyndale Elementary (15).

In 2025–26, 13.3% of Stonebridge students were proficient in math, 15% in reading and 0% in science, versus 44.9%, 48.6% and 25.5% statewide. Neighbors posting 70–86% in math and reading include Burroughs Elementary (85.7% math, 83.9% reading), Lake Harriet Upper Elementary (86.2, 85.3), Kenny Elementary (84.9, 80.0) and Field Elementary (73.9, 71.9). Schools with higher poverty rates also outperformed it: Hennepin Schools Lower Campus (95.42% free/reduced lunch) reported 39.5% math and 35.8% reading, Lyndale Elementary (79.18%) 27.5% and 27.4%, and Green Central Elementary (54.88%) 44.3% and 42.6%.
Science is the most extreme weakness: 0% in 2025–26 and never above 4% in four reported years. No grade met state expectations in 2025–26; 4th grade math, the strongest area, was 25%, still about 30 points below the state's 4th grade rate of 55.2%, while 5th and 6th grade math were in the single digits and 5th grade science was 0%. Reading ranged only from 13% to 17.9% across grades 3–6. Math has risen from 4.21% in 2023–24 to 13.3% in 2025–26, still far below state and nearby averages. Subgroup ranks are low: male students 0–1st percentile and low-income students 4th–5th percentile, both 0 stars. The school's 85.42% free/reduced lunch rate and 15.0 student-teacher ratio resemble many nearby schools, so neither stands out as an explanation.
