Summary

Five Hawks Elementary is a K–5 school in Prior Lake, Minnesota, serving 454 students as part of Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools, a district ranked 76th of 458 in Minnesota (83rd percentile, 4 stars). It is the smallest of the six same-district elementary schools in the surrounding area.

For 2025–2026, Five Hawks ranked 277th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — 68th percentile, 3 stars — down from 77th percentile and 4 stars in each of the two prior years. That places it below every same-district neighbor this year: Redtail Ridge Elementary School (93rd percentile), Jeffers Pond Elementary (91st), La Ola Del Lago at Grainwood (90th), Glendale Elementary (88th), WestWood Elementary (77th), and Hamilton Ridge Elementary School (73rd). The school still outperforms some nearby out-of-district schools that serve much higher-poverty populations, such as Red Oak Elementary and Harriet Bishop Elementary, though the more demanding comparison is within its own district.

Math is the strongest subject, at 63.0% proficiency — above district and state — with 4th grade math at 75.6%, the highest among same-district peers. Reading (53.8%) is below the district and the lowest among the same-district neighbors, and 3rd grade reading at 42.7% is a particular weak point. Science is the biggest concern at 25.0%: essentially at the state average but well below district and peer results, and it has fallen sharply over the past two years. Effectiveness ranks for some student groups have also slipped recently, while others remain above the school's overall standing. The most useful questions for parents to raise are about early reading support, 5th-grade science, and how the school plans to address the groups whose results have declined.
