Summary

Five Hawks Elementary is a public elementary school in Prior Lake, Minnesota, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade as part of the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools district.

Five Hawks Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools, with strong academic performance. The school's math and reading proficiency rates significantly outpace the district and state averages, and it performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, including male students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Five Hawks Elementary provides more individualized attention for its students.

Compared to nearby schools, Five Hawks Elementary generally outperforms other schools in the Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools district, as well as schools in the neighboring Shakopee Public School District. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has since rebounded and regained its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school serves a relatively more affluent student population compared to some of its neighbors, which may contribute to its strong academic results.
