of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Minnesota elementary schools

Summary

Woodland Elementary in Eagan, MN, is a K–5 school with 720 students in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 47 of 869 Minnesota elementary schools—the 95th percentile, with 5 stars—making it the highest-ranked school among the nearby schools listed. The district itself ranks in the 81st percentile (4 stars), so the school performs well above its district. It has been a 5-star school every year in the provided history since 2016–17, peaking at 29 of 881 (97th percentile) in 2023–24.

The school’s 2025–2026 proficiency is strong: math 74.8% (29.9 points above the state and 21.5 above the district), reading 69.2% (20.6 above the state), and science 43.3% (17.8 above the state). It has the highest math and reading proficiency among nearby schools, including Thomas Lake Elementary, Glacier Hills School - Arts/Science, Northview Elementary, and Red Pine Elementary. In science, the school is third, behind two nearby schools by just 3.1 and 1.0 points. Its free/reduced lunch rate is 14.31%, the lowest nearby, while its student-teacher ratio of 16.5 is the highest nearby. Math has slipped from 81.11% in 2022–23 to 74.8% in 2025–26, though it remains very high. Science has been volatile, partly because the exam label changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV in 2024–25.

The school is a top-tier school with a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate and sustained top-decile results, especially in math and reading. It outperforms most nearby schools, including Red Pine Elementary and Thomas Lake Elementary, despite a higher student-teacher ratio. One watch item is special education performance, which was 65th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 after 83rd–86th percentile in the prior two years. Within the same district, Oak Ridge Leadershipenviron/Health is only 2.86 miles away but has a 46.48% free/reduced lunch rate and ranks 596 of 869 (31st percentile, 2 stars); the school is 36.6 points higher in math, 26.5 higher in reading, and 25.6 higher in science. Overall, the school’s main strengths are math and reading, with recent math decline, science volatility, and the special education dip as areas to monitor.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, August 12, 2016

Outdated teaching methods, poor communication between teachers and parents, and a good portion of the teachers that have been there for many (many) years lack the technological ability to teach and prepare our children for the future... as well as the energy, care and compassion to do so. And, at the top sits an ineffective principal with no leadership abilities. Close Quote
