Summary

Cedar Island Elementary is a PK–5 school in Maple Grove, MN, serving 476 students in the Osseo Public School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 299th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (66th percentile, 3 stars), well above its district’s 38th-percentile standing and in the top third of state elementary schools. Its free/reduced-lunch population was 33.4% in 2024–2025, and its student-teacher ratio has been stable around 15:1.

Cedar Island outperformed both its district and the state in all three tested subjects in 2025–2026: math was 54.7% proficient versus the state’s 44.9%, reading was 53.9% versus 48.6%, and science was 33.3% versus 25.5%. Science is a relative strength—7.8 points above the state and 13.2 points above the district—and among nearby schools only Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School (42.3%) had higher science proficiency. Still, proficiency has declined for three straight years, and the school’s rank has cooled from the 80th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 66th. Fifth grade is the strongest grade: math 59.5% versus the state’s 41.9% and reading 61.3% versus 54.5%. Third-grade math is the clearest weakness at 49.3%, below the state’s 57.9% and the district’s 55.6%.

Among nearby schools, Cedar Island is third-highest in the comparison group, behind Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School (87th percentile) and Basswood Elementary (81st). It outperforms the closest neighbor, Oak View Elementary, in all three subjects and beats Zachary Lane Elementary in math and science while essentially tying it in reading. It also outperforms higher-poverty nearby schools such as Rice Lake Elementary, Park Brook Elementary, Meadow Lake Elementary, Prairie Seeds Elementary School Academy, and Escuela Exitos by wide margins. However, Weaver Lake and Basswood score higher in math and reading, and both have lower free/reduced-lunch rates. The biggest internal concern is subgroup effectiveness: some student populations, including special education and low-income students, rank much lower (28th and 36th percentile in 2025–2026) than the school overall, suggesting equity gaps even as overall performance remains solid.
