Summary

Great Oaks Academy - Grammar is a K–5 charter elementary school at 115 Elm St in Farmington, MN, serving 430 students — the smallest student body among the eleven nearby schools it was compared with. It is the only charter school in that group; the rest belong to conventional public districts. Its authorizer, Great Oaks Academy Charter School, ranks 23rd of 458 Minnesota districts (95th percentile, 5 stars), while the district serving its Farmington neighbors, Farmington Public School District, ranks 273rd (40th percentile, 2 stars).

Math is the school's defining strength. At 73.8% proficient, Great Oaks posts the highest math score in the comparison set — 28.9 points above the state (44.9%) and 25.9 points above the highest-scoring Farmington elementary. Nearby, Riverview Elementary sits at 39.3% and Farmington Elementary at 41.4%, while stronger suburban schools such as East Lake Elementary School (65.2%) and Highview Elementary School (71.7%) still trail Great Oaks. Those comparisons matter: averaged across five nearby schools in Lakeville Area Schools and Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan, math is 65.3%, reading 60.2%, and science 32.7%, so Great Oaks leads in math by 8.5 points and is essentially level elsewhere. Its rank has improved two years running, reaching 129th of 869 schools (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26 — its best in five years.

Reading (60.7%) is 12.1 points above the state and above every Farmington public elementary (35.7–49.6%), but trails Lake Marion Elementary (68.8%), East Lake (64.1%), and Highview (64.0%). Science (33.0% vs. 25.5% state) is fourth-highest locally, though down sharply from 65.4% in 2022–23; only 5th graders are tested, so roughly 70 students drive that figure. Low-income students are the standout: 96th percentile, 32nd of 764 schools statewide, 5 stars. With about 18% free/reduced lunch, a lean 16.4 student–teacher ratio, and small cohorts, families should watch these trends over time.
