Summary

Sky Oaks Elementary is a public elementary school in Burnsville, Minnesota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 459 students. The school is part of the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District, which is ranked 334 out of 446 districts in the state.

Sky Oaks Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Minnesota elementary schools, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math and Reading assessments significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 23.93% in Math and 27.47% in Reading, compared to the district's 30.04% and 35.94%, and the state's 45.21% and 49.59%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education students, who ranked in the bottom 1% of Minnesota elementary schools in 2022-2023.

Interestingly, the nearby Gideon Pond Elementary within the same district generally performs better academically, ranking in the top 30% of Minnesota elementary schools and achieving proficiency rates well above the district and state averages. This suggests that the challenges faced by Sky Oaks Elementary may be unique and require targeted interventions and additional resources to address the specific needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.
