Summary
Hidden Valley Elementary is a PK–5 school in Savage, Minnesota, serving 472 students as part of Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Schools. In 2025–2026, 23.9% of students met standards in math, 32.8% in reading, and 11.1% in science — all below both its district and the state (44.9% math, 48.6% reading, 25.5% science). The school ranks 734th of 869 Minnesota schools (16th percentile, 1 star), placing it below its own district, which itself ranks 344th of 458 (25th percentile, 1 star). Its state percentile has generally stayed between 9 and 26 since 2015–2016 and slipped from 26th to 16th over the past four years.
Among nearby schools, results vary widely. Within the same district, Edward Neill Elementary (33.3% math, 41.0% reading) and Harriet Bishop Elementary (41.5%, 39.1%) score higher in every subject, while Vista View Elementary (23.0%, 25.8%, 1.9% science) and ONE91 Virtual Academy Elementary (10.0%, 16.7%) generally trail it. Much larger gaps appear with nearby schools in other districts: Seven Hills - Burnsville Elementary, 0.87 miles away, scores 55.0% math, 57.4% reading, and 33.3% science; Glendale Elementary scores 71.2%, 64.9%, and 36.8%; and Redtail Ridge Elementary School scores 72.5%, 67.1%, and 55.4%.
Hidden Valley's recent trend is steep. Science fell from 40% in 2022–2023 to 32.35%, 16.05%, and 11.1%; math dropped from 37.44% to 30.28% to 23.9%; reading went from 36.07% to 37.44% to 32.8%. Its free/reduced-lunch rate declined from 79.75% to 64.19%, and its 13.2 student-teacher ratio is comparable to or better than several nearby schools, so neither appears to explain the results. Grade-level results are mixed: 5th-grade reading (44.4%) is relatively stronger, while 5th-grade math (14.8%) and 3rd-grade reading (22.5%) lag. Subgroup performance is also mixed, with relative strengths among English Language Learner, African American, White, and Special Education students, and lower results among low-income, male, female, Hispanic, and Asian students — most trending downward.
