Summary

Normandale Elementary is a PK–5 school at 5701 Normandale Rd in Edina, Minnesota, serving 652 students as part of the Edina Public School District, which is ranked 7th of 458 districts in the state.

In 2025–2026, Normandale Elementary ranked 23rd of 869 elementary schools statewide (97th percentile, 5 stars), and it has stayed in the top 1–3% of Minnesota elementary schools for a decade, so this is a long-running pattern rather than a single good year. Math is its clearest strength: all-grade math proficiency is 80.6% (district 72.4%, state 44.9%), with 3rd grade at 85.6% and 4th grade at 87.6%, though 5th-grade math is 69.0%, barely above the district's 68.9%. Reading is 76.2% overall, with 4th grade at 81.8% and 5th grade at 81.0%, both above district rates, but 3rd-grade reading (64.4%) falls below the district's 70.3%. Science is the relative weak spot: 5th-grade science is 45.7%, slightly under the district's 47.1% and far below the school's own earlier results of 67.01% in 2023–2024 and 68.63% in 2022–2023.

Normandale sits in the top tier locally, but it is not the only high performer. Concord Elementary (18th) and Creek Valley Elementary (15th) post similar math and reading results with higher science, while Cornelia Elementary trails in every subject. Lake Harriet Upper Elementary, part of the Minneapolis Public School District, ranks 3rd statewide and beats Normandale in all three subjects. Normandale's free/reduced-lunch rate of 5.98% is the lowest nearby, and its student-teacher ratio of 17.0 is higher than most same-district peers. Subgroup effectiveness is a major strength: special education students rank 9th of 579 statewide, and female and male students rank in the top 3%.

I was once a student at Normandale. When I graduated into Valley View (the Edina middle school continuing with the French program) I found that those who went to Normandale had better grades, where kinder, and had a better work ethic. I know that I have a huge bias, but Normandale must be very selective because from my experience, we almost never had new kids and lost many throughout the years who couldn't keep up. That most likely explains how they do so well on tests and contain the positive qualities that I listed above. Close Quote
