Summary

Huddleston Elementary is a K–5 school serving 430 students in Lakeville, Minnesota, part of Lakeville Area Schools. Statewide, it ranks 275th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 68th percentile with 3 stars — which is comfortably above average, yet 17 percentile points below its own district's 85th percentile. Its decade-long arc is genuinely upward: from the 44th percentile and 2 stars in 2015–16, it has held 3 stars every year since and posted its best results in the two most recent of the last three years.

Within Lakeville, Huddleston sits near the bottom of the peer group — only Orchard Lake Elementary ranks lower — trailing the peer median by 11.8 points in math, 7.1 in reading, and 6.0 in science. But the picture flips against nearby Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan schools: Huddleston outscores Cedar Park Elementary STEM School, Parkview Elementary, and Southview Elementary on every subject, and it also beats Orchard Lake Elementary, its closest demographic match, by 8.1 points in math and 3.1 in reading. Its low-income enrollment (28.6%) has fallen for three straight years, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.5 is the smallest among Lakeville peers.

Academically, 57.6% of students are proficient in math and 56.9% in reading, both above the state but below the district; science, at 27.3%, is now the weakest subject, down from 50.5 two years earlier — though the state and district fell sharply too, reflecting a change in the assessment standard. Fourth grade is the clear pressure point, with math 13.4 points and reading 12.9 points below the district, while fifth-grade reading is 10.4 points above the state. The school does well by special education students (84th percentile) and male students (77th), but low-income students rank 49th — 19 points below the school overall and its clearest equity gap.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, February 27, 2013

This school has many problems, beginning with the Principal. She's been at the school it's entire existence and continues to frustrate parents and fail to unite and create community with the staff.There are several teachers at this school that should not even be teaching, but the principal deflects the issue with blaming union contracts instead of fighting for the best teachers. The building itself is falling apart, very drab and dark with leaking ceilings that have been a problem for years yet nothing is done to fix it. That is common with the principal, she will tell you she is on top of things but follows through on nothing. We have been very disappointed with this school and will be open enrolling our daughter elsewhere. I wish the school board was better, but unfortunately they are not. Lakeville school district is becoming plagued with budget issues and the cuts get deeper and more drastic each year. The new Superintendent is more concerned with iPads than anything else. The least of their concerns now is an old school building run by a principal that 100% of the school body is hoping retires soon. Someone needs to come in and turn this school around. And the district for that matter. I feel Lakeville is but a shell of the former amazing school district is used to be. It's very sad. Close Quote
