Summary

Falcon Ridge is a PK–5 elementary school in New Prague, Minnesota, serving 519 students as part of New Prague Area Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 333rd of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 62nd percentile with 3 stars. That puts it above the state median, though below its district's overall 75th percentile (4 stars) and well below its own 2021–2022 peak of 80th percentile and 4 stars. Among the New Prague elementaries in this data, Falcon Ridge leads: Eagle View sits at the 55th percentile and Raven Stream Elementary at the 52nd.

Math and reading are the strengths. Falcon Ridge's all-grade proficiency was 57.4% in math and 53.6% in reading, both above the district (56.8% and 51.7%) and the state (44.9% and 48.6%). Science is the clear weak spot at 19.8% — below the state's 25.5% and the district's 30.9% — and down sharply from 54.1% in 2022–2023. Results also vary by grade: third and fourth graders score well above district and state in both reading and math, while fifth-grade reading (49.5%) falls below district and state, and 5th-grade science, though slightly above the district's 5th-grade average, remains below the state's. Reading rebounded this year from 45.35%, while math has drifted from 66.67% in 2022–2023 to 57.4%.

Compared with nearby schools outside the district, Falcon Ridge is strong but not the top option. Five Hawks Elementary (68th percentile) posts higher math and science, and Oak Crest Elementary (65th) has far stronger science (33.3%). Falcon Ridge's free/reduced lunch rate, 17.92%, is among the lowest locally, and its student/teacher ratio is 15.8. Low-income students (65th percentile) and special education students (59th) rank near or above the school overall, and boys (67th) outperform girls (52nd). Note that Central Education Campus, Chatfield Elementary, and SW Metro East Union Level 4 aren't standard comparisons.
