Summary
Oak View Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Andover, MN, serving 1,282 students as part of the Anoka-Hennepin School District, and it ranks among the top middle schools in Minnesota.
In 2025–2026, Oak View ranked 29th of 546 Minnesota middle schools — 95th percentile with 5 stars — while its district ranks 184th of 458 districts, 60th percentile, 3 stars. That gap shows Oak View is a standout within its own district, not just a reflection of it. The school has held 92nd–97th percentile and 5 stars every year in its rank history, including 27th of 519 in 2024–2025 and 39th of 545 in 2023–2024. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates — math 63.9%, reading 63.7%, science 27.7% — exceed district figures of 51%, 50.9%, and 27.1%, and state figures of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Oak View led every nearby school with reported scores in all three subjects; nearby math rates ranged from 25.2% to 50.9%, reading from 32.6% to 53.5%, and science from 7.8% to 22% (science was suppressed for Innovation Sci & Technical Middle). Rank-wise, Northdale Middle (84th percentile) and Jackson Middle (80th) are the closest comparisons, followed by Roosevelt Middle (78th), St. Francis Middle (65th), Coon Rapids Middle School (45th), Westwood Intermediate & Middle School (44th), and Noble Academy Middle School (26th). Grade-level results were strong: 6th-grade reading 71.9%, 7th-grade math 67.5%, and 8th-grade math 58.5%.
Most student groups also rank highly statewide, from the 85th to the 98th percentile. The watch areas are science, which is lower in absolute terms and has fluctuated (33.42% in 2022–2023 down to 27.7% in 2025–2026), and the relative rankings for Asian students (62nd percentile) and multi-racial students (77th percentile), which remain above the state median. Oak View's free/reduced lunch rate of 20.28% is the lowest among nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 19.3 is higher than several of them — so strong outcomes are not coming from smaller classes.
