Summary

Skyview Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Oakdale, Minnesota, serving 1,029 students as part of the North St. Paul-Maplewood Oakdale district in the Twin Cities east metro. In 2025–2026 it ranked 330th of 546 Minnesota schools — the 40th percentile, with 2 stars — which is above its district's 26th-percentile, 1-star ranking. The school's history shows a clear arc: it sat at the 51st–61st percentile with 3 stars from 2015–16 through 2020–21, fell sharply to the 26th–27th percentile with 1 star from 2021–22 through 2023–24, and has since recovered to the 40th percentile.

Reading is the school's relative strength: 39.2% of students were proficient, 3.9 points above the district and 9.4 points below the state, and reading has improved steadily from 31.52% in 2022–23. Math sits at 29.6%, essentially even with the district but 15.3 points below the state; 8th grade is the bright spot at 34.6%, while 6th and 7th grade are closer to district averages and much further below the state. Science is the weakest subject at 12.3% for 8th grade — ahead of the district's 8th-grade science figure of 9.2% but below the state's 8th-grade average of 16.7% — and it has been low and uneven in recent years.

Compared with nine other nearby middle schools, Skyview ranks fifth of ten. It trails Lake Middle School, Oak-Land Middle School, Woodbury Leadership Academy Upper and Woodbury Middle School by wide margins in math and science, but clearly outperforms nearby North Metro Flex Middle School, Txuj Ci HMong Language & Culture U, E-Stem Middle School, Battle Creek Middle and Academia Cesar Chavez Middle School, several of which score far lower. About 62.39% of Skyview students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–25, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.1. Parents should note that students in special education rank at the 11th percentile among statewide peers — the school's lowest-performing group — while reading gains, science, and 6th and 7th grade math are the areas most worth watching.
