Summary

Wilshire Park Elementary is a PK–5 school in Saint Anthony, MN, serving 690 students as part of the St. Anthony-New Brighton Schools district, which ranks 54th of 458 Minnesota districts (88th percentile, 4 stars) — among the stronger districts in the state. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 133rd of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (85th percentile, 4 stars), a notable rise from 2024–2025, when it ranked 284th of 872 (67th percentile, 3 stars). Historically it was even stronger, sitting in the 90th–92nd percentile from 2016 to 2019 before a dip that lasted through 2024–2025.

In 2025–2026, 66.8% of Wilshire Park students were proficient in math, 63.7% in reading, and 33.9% in science — all above district averages (54.7%, 59.2%, 27.4%) and state averages (44.9%, 48.6%, 25.5%). Math and reading both improved substantially over 2024–2025. By grade, 3rd-grade math was 75.4%, 4th grade 68.9%, and 5th grade 55.8%, while reading was consistent across grades 3–5. Science is the clearest gap: above the state average, but far below the school's 58.82% in 2022–2023. Among nearby schools, only Waite Park Elementary outranks Wilshire Park overall; Wilshire Park leads Bel Air Elementary and Valentine Hills Elementary in math and reading, though Valentine Hills edges it in science.

Subgroup effectiveness is strong for many groups: in 2025–2026, African American students ranked in the 95th percentile, white students and special education students in the 89th, male students 86th, and female and multi-racial students 80th, with English Language Learner students at 75th. Low-income students rank 66th — the lowest subgroup ranking, but a sharp climb from 45th in 2024–2025 and 24th in 2023–2024. The school's free/reduced-lunch rate of 27.1% is the lowest among the nearby schools listed, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is mid-pack, so its strong results are not simply a product of very small classes.
