Summary

Sheridan Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Richfield, Minnesota, serving 428 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richfield Public School District, which is ranked 340 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Sheridan Hills Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota elementary schools over the past five years, with proficiency rates in MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science assessments generally lower than the state and district averages. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and White students performing relatively well, while African American, male, English Language Learner, and special education students perform in the bottom 4-5 deciles. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.38% to 52.27% over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Sheridan Hills Elementary's performance is generally lower than the high-performing public schools in Edina and Minneapolis, such as Concord Elementary and Armatage Elementary. However, the school performs better than the nearby charter schools, such as Agamim Classical Academy and SciTech Academy, which have significantly lower proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels.
