Summary

Sky Oaks Elementary is a PK–5 school in Burnsville, MN, serving 524 students in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Schools district, in the south Twin Cities metro area near several other public and charter elementary schools.

The school remains a stable bottom-decile performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 762nd of 869 Minnesota schools (12th percentile, 1 star), while its district ranked 344th of 458. All-grade proficiency was 24.6% in math, 27.9% in reading, and 5.4% in science, below the district in every subject and roughly 20 percentage points below the state in each. Science is the most acute weakness, and 5th grade is a pressure point: 5th-grade math was 13.3% and 5th-grade science 5.4%. Reading is comparatively the strongest core subject, but 27.9% is still low. Math has been essentially flat over recent years, reading has drifted slightly upward, and science has declined sharply, though a change in the science exam should make that trend comparison cautious.

Nearby options show much higher results are possible. Gideon Pond Elementary, only 0.49 miles away in the same district, ranks in the 54th percentile with 3 stars and posts 49.0% math, 51.4% reading, and 24.5% science. Edward Neill Elementary also outperforms Sky Oaks in all three subjects, and Seven Hills - Burnsville Elementary, Echo Park Leadership Engineer/Technical, and Westview Elementary rank in the 55th–69th percentile within 2.5 miles. Sky Oaks is not the lowest nearby—Vista View Elementary is similar or slightly lower in core subjects and Gateway STEM Academy Charter School is much lower—but it sits well below district and state norms. A high free/reduced lunch rate (74.1%) is a factor, yet Universal Academy South Elementary (92.2% free/reduced lunch) had higher math and reading, and STEP Academy Kg-5th - Burnsville (98.8%) had similar math and slightly higher reading, so poverty does not fully explain the gap. The student-teacher ratio (13.5) is moderate and does not clearly explain the low performance. Subgroup outcomes also vary: special education students ranked in the 12th percentile and low-income students in the 18th percentile in 2025–2026.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, January 8, 2014

I had the opportunity to work with the teachers and families at Sky Oaks Elementary school. And I found out that teachers go above and beyond to educate their students. My perception has changed about this school because I see the effort, the dedication, and support teachers provide to their students. What the school needs are more parent involvement and more resources.
