Summary
Parkview Elementary is a PK–5 school in Rosemount, MN, part of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, enrolling 674 students with a 13.5 student-teacher ratio and about 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The district is high-performing, ranking 85th of 458 Minnesota districts (81st percentile, 4 stars), while Parkview Elementary ranks 402nd of 869 schools (54th percentile, 3 stars) — solidly mid-pack statewide, but below its own district. The school has recovered from a pandemic-era dip (35th percentile in 2020–21) and has held in the mid-50s since 2022–23.
In 2025–26, math proficiency was 51.7% (above the state's 44.9%, slightly below the district's 53.3%), reading was 50.1% (barely above the state's 48.6%, 7.7 points below the district), and science was 21.3% (below the state's 25.5% and far below the district's 37.2%). Among nearby schools, Parkview's math outpaces Southview Elementary, Cedar Park Elementary STEM School, Highland Elementary, North Trail Elementary, and FIT Academy, but trails Westview Elementary, Diamond Path Elementary School Of International Studies, East Lake Elementary School, Oak Hills Elementary, and Cherry View Elementary. Science is the standout weakness, with only Southview, FIT Academy, and North Trail scoring lower locally.
Fifth grade is the clearest pressure point: 5th grade math was 38.2% (vs. 41.9% state and 49.6% district), reading 49.3% (vs. 54.5% and 62.3%), and science 21.3% (vs. 25.9% and 32.7%). Third and 4th grade results are near or above state averages, so the upper-grade transition stands out. Parkview's ~40% free/reduced lunch rate is much higher than lower-poverty high performers like East Lake (17.65%), Cherry View (20.2%), and Oak Hills (21.89%), and its results track closer to higher-poverty peers such as Southview, Westview, Cedar Park, and FIT Academy. Effectiveness for African American students (79th percentile) and Hispanic students (76th) is strong, while special education students rank 27th with 1 star and English Language Learner effectiveness has slipped from 78th to 51st. The clearest levers are 5th grade, reading, and science.
