Summary

Meadow Ridge Elementary School is a K–5 school in Plymouth, Minnesota, serving 762 students as part of the Wayzata Public School District, one of the strongest districts in the state. In 2025–2026 it ranked 17th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (98th percentile) and has earned a 5-star rating in every year on record, never falling outside the top 8% of the state's elementary schools.

Proficiency is high across the board. In 2025–2026, 81.5% of students met standards in math, 78.5% in reading, and 55.2% in science — above the Wayzata district averages of 72.4%, 71.4%, and 44.3%, and far above Minnesota's 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Among same-district peers, Meadow Ridge trails only North Woods Elementary School in math and reading, while leading all five Wayzata schools in science. It also posts much higher scores than nearby Osseo-area schools such as Basswood Elementary, Rush Creek Elementary, Weaver Lake Science Math & Technical School, Cedar Island Elementary, Oak View Elementary, and Minnesota Excellence in Learning Ac, which trail it by 11 to 63 points in math.

Fifth grade is the standout cohort, with 88.1% proficient in reading — the highest single grade-level result among the comparison schools. The student–teacher ratio has tightened to 15.7, and the school now serves more students from low-income families than three years ago while raising their performance: free or reduced-lunch eligibility rose from 8.59% to 12.47%, and that group's statewide rank climbed from the 80th to the 92nd percentile. Every student group measured now ranks at or above the 90th percentile. One item to watch: science results swing year to year, and fourth-grade math (78.6%) runs slightly below the district average.
