Summary

Eagle Ridge Academy Lower School is a K–5 charter school at 11111 Bren Rd W in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving 830 students — the largest enrollment in its local comparison group — as part of the Eagle Ridge Academy Charter School district, which ranks 16th of 458 Minnesota districts.

Math is this school's clear strength. At 76% proficient, Eagle Ridge is within a point of Countryside Elementary (76.5) and Forest Hills Elementary (77), and its third-grade math (86.5%) essentially ties Creek Valley Elementary and Normandale Elementary while beating the state (57.9) by nearly 29 points. It does this with the highest poverty load among top performers: 31.3% free/reduced lunch, roughly two to five times the share at Normandale, Xinxing Academy, Highlands Elementary, Countryside, and Creek Valley. Staffing is a relative advantage too — an 11.6 student–teacher ratio, the lowest of any high-performing peer here, tightened three years running — and English learners rank in the 85th percentile, improving three straight years.

Reading and science are where the gap lives. At 62% reading, Eagle Ridge trails every high-performing neighbor by 9–15 points and sits only slightly above the state (48.6). Science, tested only in 5th grade, is 22.3% — below the state (25.5) and the district (33.8), following a four-year line of 68.6 → 55.9 → 39.4 → 22.3. Overall rank has slid from 16th to 155th while the low-income share rose, and low-income students rank at the 61st percentile — the school's biggest equity lever. Bottom line: this is a high-poverty charter performing like an affluent-district school in math; closing reading would move it into the Edina Public School District and Xinxing tier.
