Summary

Glen Lake Elementary is a PK–5 school at 4801 Woodridge Rd in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving 465 students as part of the Hopkins Public School District, with a student–teacher ratio of 15.7 and 23.2% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

For 2025–26, Glen Lake ranks 342nd of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 61st percentile, or 3 stars — which puts it above its own district (48th percentile, 2 stars) and makes it the strongest conventional neighborhood school in its Hopkins comparison group. Eisenhower Elementary (25th percentile), Alice Smith Elementary (20th) and Gatewood Elementary (13th) all rank far lower. Xinxing Academy ranks higher, at the 98th percentile, but it is a much smaller program. The longer trend is downward: Glen Lake was a top-15% school in 2016–18 and has lost roughly 24 percentile points since, slipping from nine straight years of 4 stars to 3 stars in two of the last three years.

Science is a genuine standout at 52.5% proficiency — more than double both the state (25.5%) and district (24.6%) — and ahead of Groveland Elementary and Clear Springs Elementary in the higher-ranked Minnetonka Public School District. Reading (55.5%) and math (44.9%) sit comfortably above district and state averages but well behind the Minnetonka and Eden Prairie peers. The recent worry is math, which fell from 56.4% to 44.9% in a single year, with 3rd grade math and 5th grade math both below state averages, even as 5th grade reading (71.4%) and science stay strong. Class sizes are also near the top of the peer group and rising.

Excellent teachers. We have been happy with every teacher so far. Strong parent involvement, Challenge program and Chess Club are just a few of the great things Glen Lake has to offer. We are fortunate to have such a great neighborhood school. Our kids have thrived there. Close Quote
