Summary

Cedar Ridge Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 8905 Braxton Dr in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, serving 557 students as part of the Eden Prairie Public School District. In 2025-2026 it ranks 97th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars) — its best result since 2020-2021 and a 49-place jump in a single year, after four years in the 83rd–85th percentile range.

Cedar Ridge clears both district and state benchmarks in all three tested subjects: math 64.4% proficient (district 56.1%, state 44.9%), reading 67.9% (district 63.2%, state 48.6%) and science 49.4% (district 39.6%, state 25.5%) — nearly double the state science rate. Beating its own district matters, because that district ranks in the 89th percentile statewide. Locally, Cedar Ridge trails only Forest Hills Elementary (96th percentile) and Eagle Heights Spanish Immersion (97th), while running ahead of Prairie View Elementary, Oak Point Elementary and Eden Lake Elementary. Its 30.5% free/reduced-lunch rate is similar to those three peers, and its reading essentially matches Clear Springs Elementary despite Clear Springs serving far fewer low-income families; its science also beats Chanhassen Elementary and Clear Springs, though not Scenic Heights Elementary.

Two internal patterns are worth a parent's attention. First, reading is strong overall but uneven by grade: fifth grade hits 77.8% proficient (23 points above the state), while fourth grade sits at 56.6%, below the district — a 21-point gap and the clearest area to ask about. Math, by contrast, tracks the district almost exactly at each grade level. Second, the school's effectiveness is unusually even between female and male students (87th and 88th percentile) and particularly strong for English language learners (92nd–93rd percentile, 5 stars) and special education students (88th). The notable soft spot is low-income students, at the 68th percentile (3 stars) and trending down from the 80th percentile three years ago. Subgroup ratings reflect how well a school serves each group compared with other Minnesota schools, not judgments about the students themselves.
