Summary

Fernbrook Elementary is a PK–5 school at 9661 Fernbrook Ln in Maple Grove, Minnesota, serving 952 students in the Osseo Public School District — the largest elementary in its local comparison group. It is a high performer inside a district that is only middling by state standards: the Osseo district ranks 285 of 458 Minnesota districts (38th percentile, 2 stars), while Fernbrook ranks 223 of 869 elementary schools (74th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025-2026 — a spread of roughly 36 percentile points.

Proficiency is above both district and state levels in all three subjects: math 65.6%, reading 57.3%, and science 26.8%. Math is the anchor, roughly 21 points above the state rate. But the advantages are narrowing. Over four years, the school's margin over the state fell in every subject — math from +29.8 to +20.7, reading from +22.1 to +8.7, and science from +25.9 to just +1.3. Science proficiency has dropped from 65.08% to 26.8%, and the school's statewide rank slid from the 94th percentile in 2020-2021 to 74th in 2025-2026. Math also falls about 20 points between 3rd and 5th grade, while reading rises.

Among nearby schools, Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School serves a more disadvantaged population yet outperforms Fernbrook in math, reading, and especially science (+15.5 points). Rush Creek Elementary posts identical published math and reading figures and is modestly ahead in science, while Rice Lake Elementary, 1.4 miles away, sits 17–26 points lower. Fernbrook serves its special education students (77th percentile) and English language learners (74th) at or above its own overall standing — an unusual strength. Low-income students rank in the 55th percentile, the school's widest internal gap, and class sizes (18.1 students per teacher) remain among the highest locally. Bottom line: a strong Maple Grove option with science, its shrinking reading advantage, 5th-grade math, and the low-income gap as priorities.
