Summary

Red Oak Elementary is a PK–5 public school at 7700 Old Carriage Ct in Shakopee, Minnesota, enrolling 452 students as part of the Shakopee Public School District. It is the smallest of the three Shakopee elementaries in this comparison set. Statewide in 2025-26 it ranked 669th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — the 23rd percentile, rated 1 star — the lowest position in its available history and well below its own district's 47th-percentile midpoint.

In 2025-26, 31.8% of Red Oak students met standards in math, 38.9% in reading and 9.0% in science — below district and state in every subject, with science the sharpest gap at roughly a third of the state figure. Two years earlier the school was above both. The contrast with neighbors is stark: Eagle Creek Elementary School, 0.81 miles away in the same district, scores 49.8% in math, 57.5% in reading and 23.9% in science, and Sun Path Elementary scores 51.2%, 51.2% and 28.4%. Harriet Bishop Elementary, about 3.9 miles away with a nearly identical share of low-income students (52.45%), also posts higher math (41.5%) and science (19.0%) results, with reading roughly even.

The weakness is concentrated: 4th grade is near state level in math (48.5%) and reading (47.8%), while 3rd grade reading (27.6%) and 5th grade math (13.8%) and science (9.0%) lag far behind. Statewide percentile has slid from 69th in 2017-18 to 23rd today, and most neighboring schools gained ground in 2025-26 while Red Oak lost 9.2 points in math and 14.3 in science. Its 54.2% poverty rate is the highest in the comparison set, but peers with somewhat lower rates — and Red Oak's own falling poverty rate — suggest economics alone does not explain the decline. Staffing is not the constraint: at 12.6 students per teacher, Red Oak has the most favorable ratio in the group. One year of test data can be noisy, but the multi-year pattern points to grade 5 math and science and grade 3 reading as the weakest spots.

Open Quote I was a student at Red Oak Elementary many years ago and I hated it.
The teachers were all extremely rude to me and all they would do to me when I told them that I was getting bullied, is laugh! I was constantly made fun of and the education was atrocious. The teachers would simply send you out of the classroom if you didn't get the concept and asked them a question. I would come home crying everyday. The teachers at this school don't care about the students at all and just want money. Thus, this school is awful. Close Quote
