Summary

Gatewood Elementary is a PK–5 school in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving 351 students as part of the Hopkins Public School District, in a suburban area surrounded by some of the state's highest-rated schools. For 2025–2026 it ranks 760th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 13th percentile, with 1 star — well below its own district, which sits mid-pack statewide.

Proficiency is far below district and state averages in every subject. In 2025–2026, 23.4% of students were proficient in math, 25% in reading, and just 10.5% in science, compared with 35.5%, 46.2%, and 24.6% in the district and 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5% statewide. Third-grade reading is a particular concern at 11.1%, versus 42.6% districtwide and 46.8% statewide. Nearly 57% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 10:1.

The comparison with nearby schools is stark. Glen Lake Elementary, 1.4 miles away in the same district, ranks in the 61st percentile with 44.9% math, 55.5% reading, and 52.5% science. Minnetonka's Deephaven Elementary and Scenic Heights Elementary rank in the 89th–99th percentiles, and Forest Hills Elementary and Prairie View Elementary in Eden Prairie, which serve similar free-lunch populations, also outperform Gatewood. Even Eden Prairie Online Elementary, with a nearly identical free-lunch rate and the same 10:1 ratio, does better. Trends are down, too: science fell from 30.19% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 4.65% in 2024–2025 before rebounding to 10.5%, and reading dropped from 38.19% to 25%. Low-income students rank near the bottom 5% of schools statewide; the relative bright spots are special education, near the median at the 49th percentile, and English Language Learner students, up to the 25th percentile.

I'm really disappointed in this school. My child has been harrased assaulted and tormented and they do nothing. Every morning I get my child ready to go to school she is terrified. Alot of the little boys put their hands on her and they do nothing. I would hate to have to do this but the parents don't reprimand their children and the bullies even do it in front of the teachers. It's sad to say if nothing is done I will have to press charged against these future criminals, maybe the police department can reprimand them. Close Quote

My children all went through Gatewood and had amazing experiences. The teachers and other staff are all amazing. They care about children. Class sizes are great and the academics are on par with neighboring schools and districts. Gatewood offers a great diverse, family focused environment. Students leave the school ready for junior high. Close Quote

We love Gatewood. We live in an area that has bussing to both EP and Minnetonka schools, and we chose the Hopkins School District because of its excellence in so many areas. Amazing teachers, diversity that reflects Minnesota, and fantastic families. My two children could not be more happy with their school. Close Quote
