Summary

Westview Elementary is a PK–5 school serving about 500 students in Apple Valley, Minnesota, part of the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district, which ranks 85th of 458 Minnesota districts (81st percentile, 4 stars). Westview itself ranks 392nd of 869 schools statewide in 2025–2026, placing in the 55th percentile with 3 stars — an improvement from the 45th percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 and the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2024–2025. On 2025–2026 MCA assessments, 53.4% of students were proficient in math, 46.9% in reading, and 29.9% in science.

Math is Westview's standout strength: its 53.4% proficiency tops all same-district nearby schools — Parkview Elementary (51.7%), Greenleaf Elementary (51.6%), Southview Elementary (51.3%), Cedar Park Elementary STEM School (50.7%) and Echo Park Leadership Engineer/Technical (49.2%) — and edges both the district (53.3%) and state (44.9%). Reading is the clear weak spot. At 46.9%, Westview trails every same-district neighbor, sits 10.9 percentage points below the district (57.8%) and 1.7 points below the state (48.6%). Third- and fourth-grade reading are the weakest (38.4% and 41.8%), while fifth-grade reading is strong at 61.0%. Science is above the state (25.5%) but below the district (37.2%).

Subgroup effectiveness rankings show relative strengths among White students (66th percentile), African American students (62nd) and female students (58th), while English Language Learner students rank lowest at the 23rd percentile — though that is up sharply from the 9th percentile the prior year. Multi-racial students (29th) and special education students (42nd) also trail. Westview has favorable context: the lowest free/reduced-price lunch rate (38.8%) and the smallest student–teacher ratio (12.7) among same-district peers, along with the smallest enrollment (500). For contrast, Oak Hills Elementary in Lakeville Area Schools reaches the 83rd percentile, while STEP Academy Kg-5th - Burnsville (16th) and Sky Oaks Elementary (12th) rank lower.

This is our neighborhood school. It's full of fantastic teachers and staff that know my child by name. Great community. Can't believe how low its current rating is - not reflective of the school at all. Close Quote
