Summary

Shakopee East Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 with 828 students in Shakopee, Minnesota, part of the Shakopee Public School District, a suburban Twin Cities area that also includes several higher-ranked neighboring districts. In 2025–2026 the school ranked 291 of 546 Minnesota middle schools — the 47th percentile with 2 stars — while its district ranked 243 of 458 districts, also 47th percentile with 2 stars.

On 2025–2026 state assessments, 30.2% of students met standards in math, 46.8% in reading, and 8.8% in science — below district and state rates in all three subjects. Reading is the relative strength and sits close to state levels, while science is the clearest weakness: 8.8% is roughly half the state's 8th-grade rate of 16.7%. The school's standing has slid for years, from the 66th–73rd percentile in the late 2010s to the 54th, 55th, and now 47th percentile. Scores have declined in every subject, with science dropping from 21.64% in 2022–2023 to 8.8%.

Compared with nearby schools, the gaps are wide: Minnetonka West Middle posts 73.0% in math and 37.6% in science at the 99th percentile, Chaska Middle School West 64.7% in math, and Prior Lake-Savage Middle School 57.9% in math. Against its same-district neighbor Shakopee West Middle School, East is nearly identical overall (46th percentile, 2 stars) and actually leads in 6th- and 7th-grade math and reading, but trails in 8th grade, especially math (25.5% vs. 39.3%). Its strongest student-group results are for English Language Learner students (66th percentile) and special education students (57th), while Hispanic students (21st percentile, 1 star) and low-SES students (38th) show the most persistent gaps. About 42.87% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, and the student–teacher ratio is 16.8.
