Summary

Williams Elementary is a K–6 school in Shoreview, MN, serving 459 students as part of the Roseville Public School District, and it stands out as one of the stronger elementary schools in its area. The district as a whole ranks 218th of 458 in Minnesota (52nd percentile, 3 stars), while Williams ranks 234th of 869 elementary schools statewide in 2025-26 (73rd percentile, 4 stars). That is a meaningful advantage over its district context. The school has also improved over the long term, rising from the 51st percentile in 2015-16 to 73rd today, after peaking at 79th in 2022-23.

Math and reading are clear strengths. In 2025-26, Williams posted 55.9% math and 62.8% reading proficiency, well above district (39.8% and 45.1%) and state (44.9% and 48.6%) averages. Reading is solid across grades 3–6 (59.3% to 65.1%), and math is strongest in 3rd grade (70.2%) and 4th grade (64.8%). Among nearby schools, only Falcon Heights Elementary (72.4% math, 70.2% reading) and Island Lake Elementary (65.6% math, 64.7% reading) score higher, and both serve lower-poverty populations. Williams outperforms Parkview Center School, Brimhall Elementary, Central Park Elementary, and Little Canada Elementary in math and reading.

Science is the clearest weak spot: 24.3% proficiency is below the state (25.5%) and below Falcon Heights, Parkview, Brimhall, Island Lake, and Valentine Hills Elementary, and it has fallen sharply from 38.6% the prior year. Williams also shines in subgroup effectiveness—93rd percentile for English Language Learner students and 76th for low-SES students—and its 12:1 student-teacher ratio is the lowest among comparable nearby elementary schools. (Mounds View Bridges Program is too small to compare, with scores suppressed by the state.)
