Summary

Jordan Middle is a grades 5–8 school in Jordan, MN, serving 528 students in the Jordan Public School District, a small city in the Twin Cities area. It is a consistent high performer: in 2025–2026 it ranked 53rd of 546 Minnesota middle schools (90th percentile, 5 stars) and has stayed between the 85th and 91st percentile for the past decade. That is stronger than its own district, which ranks 124th of 458 (73rd percentile, 4 stars).

Compared with nearby schools, Jordan Middle sits just behind the top Chaska-area schools—Chaska Middle School West, Pioneer Ridge Middle School, and Chaska Middle School East—but ahead of Prior Lake-Savage Middle School, New Prague Middle School, Belle Plaine Junior High, Shakopee East Middle School, Shakopee West Middle School, and Aspire Academy Middle School. Its all-grades math proficiency is 49.7%, above the district's 47.9% and the state's 44.9%, though lower than the top five nearby schools. Reading is a relative strength at 58.3%, above the district's 50.9% and the state's 48.6%, with strong 7th- and 8th-grade results. In 8th-grade science, the school's 28.7% is above every nearby school's 8th-grade science result, even though the all-grades science figure (25.9%) is pulled down by 5th grade.

Equity is a standout feature. In 2025–2026, low socio-economic status students ranked 22nd of 458 (95th percentile, 5 stars), and special education students ranked 98th of 296 (67th percentile, 3 stars), down from the 82nd percentile the prior year. The school's free/reduced lunch rate is 26.14%, higher than several higher-scoring nearby schools, and its student–teacher ratio of 14.9 is favorable compared with many peers. The school serves grades 5–8, while most nearby middle schools serve grades 6–8, so all-grade results include 5th grade, where reading and science are below state averages; its 6–8 results are generally stronger. Science trend comparisons require caution because the exam label changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV, so older and newer science scores are not directly comparable. Overall, Jordan Middle is a strong, equitable school whose main relative gap is math compared with the highest-performing nearby districts, while reading and 8th-grade science are clear strengths.
