60^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of Minnesota elementary schools

Summary

Redtail Ridge Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 556 students in Savage, MN, part of Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools, and it just posted its best year since 2017–2018: 60th out of 869 Minnesota elementary schools, 93rd percentile, 5 stars — up sharply from 217th the year before.

Among nearby schools, Redtail Ridge has the highest overall rank and the strongest math (72.5% proficient) and science (55.4%) results. Reading (67.1%) trails only La Ola Del Lago at Grainwood (71.6%), and the school outperforms Glendale Elementary, WestWood Elementary, Hamilton Ridge Elementary School, and Aspen Academy across the board. Science is the standout: 55.4% proficient is 26.4 points above the district and 29.9 points above the state, and no nearby school comes within 14 points. Keep in mind that science is tested only in 5th grade, so it reflects a single cohort and has been volatile (70.4% in 2022–2023, but 25.2% in 2024–2025). Fifth grade is exceptionally strong across all subjects — reading 80.2, math 70.8 — while 3rd grade reading (55.2) is the one spot below the district's 59.0, though still above the state's 46.8.

Subgroup results suggest the school is not simply benefiting from low poverty (10.61% free/reduced lunch, the lowest among nearby schools). Low-income students rank at the 91st percentile, up from the 53rd, and male and female students sit at 93rd and 91st. Special education students, at the 70th percentile, are the lowest subgroup but improved from the 48th. Redtail Ridge also has the highest student–teacher ratio nearby at 17.3, yet still outperforms smaller-class schools such as Harriet Bishop Elementary and Edward Neill Elementary, which serve far higher poverty populations.
