Summary

Forest Hills Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 603 students on Holly Road in Eden Prairie, a Twin Cities suburb, and is part of the Eden Prairie Public School District, which ranks in the top fifth of Minnesota districts.

Forest Hills has climbed steadily, from the 56th percentile of Minnesota elementary schools in 2020‑21 to the 96th percentile in 2025‑26, and it has held a 5-star, top-5%-statewide spot for three years running. In 2025‑26, 77% of students met state standards in math, 74.7% in reading, and 56.8% in science — above the district average in every subject and every grade tested. Those scores beat every Eden Prairie elementary in the comparison set except Eagle Heights Spanish Immersion, a district-wide magnet. Fifth-grade math is the standout at 84.3%, 26 points above the district's own fifth-grade average. Notably, Forest Hills comes close to Scenic Heights Elementary in Minnetonka — the 8th-ranked school in the state — while serving a much higher share of students from low-income families.

What may matter most to parents is how well the school serves students who often struggle elsewhere: its multilingual learners rank 2nd of 305 Minnesota schools, its low-income students 17th of 764, and its special-education students in the 89th percentile. Compare Gatewood Elementary, just 1.4 miles away in the Hopkins Public School District, at the 13th percentile statewide, or same-district Prairie View Elementary, roughly 12 points behind in math and reading. Science is tested only in fifth grade, so its year-to-year swings (54.1% to 74.0% to 45.6% to 56.8%) reflect one class, not the whole school. The clearest room for growth is third-grade reading at 68.2%.
