Summary

Jordan Elementary is a PK–4 public school of 701 students at 815 Sunset Dr in Jordan, Minnesota, a small Scott County community about 30 miles southwest of Minneapolis, and the only PK–4 elementary in the Jordan Public School District. In 2025-2026 it ranks at the 37th percentile with 2 stars — the lowest standing in its ten-year record, below even a 2018-19 dip. The district itself rates well statewide (73rd percentile, 4 stars), and the 36-point gap between district and school is the largest among the comparable schools examined.

The core story is a broad two-year slide: math proficiency fell from 65.96% in 2023-24 to 52.4%, and reading from 47.01% to 37.1%. Jordan is the only school in the peer group where math clearly outpaces reading (52.4 vs. 37.1), and its reading score is the lowest of any mainstream public school in the comparison set — about 15 points below the peer average. Read the grade-level numbers, not the all-grades headline: because Jordan serves only grades 3 and 4, its "All Grades" scores are just those two grades, while statewide figures blend in upper grades. Grade for grade, Jordan trails the state in all four tested cells, including 3rd-grade reading at 34.5 vs. 46.8 and 4th-grade math at 52.6 vs. 55.2. Reading is the sharpest weakness.

Regionally, Carver Elementary School, 7.8 miles away in the Eastern Carver County Public School district, is the standout on every measure, while Oak Crest Elementary, Falcon Ridge, and Raven Stream Elementary form a solid middle band. Jackson Elementary posts the mirror-image profile, stronger in reading than math. Aspire Academy Elementary and SW Metro East Union Level 4 serve specialized or high-poverty populations and are not like-for-like comparisons; the latter's science figure is withheld by the state, not zero. Jordan has the smallest student-teacher ratio among mainstream peers (14.2) and a mid-range free/reduced lunch rate (28.67%), so resources are not the obvious explanation. Every measured student subgroup declined in 2025-2026, several steeply, suggesting a school-wide shift rather than a single-group issue.
