Summary:

ZIP code 55024 contains six elementary schools with a combined enrollment of 3,187 students in grades PK–5 and K–5. Five are part of the Farmington Public School District (2,757 students, about 86.5% of the area's elementary enrollment), and one is the charter school Great Oaks Academy - Grammar (430 students), part of the Great Oaks Academy Charter School. The schools are located in the southern Twin Cities metro area, and enrollments range from 430 to 612 students.

Performance falls into two distinct tiers. Great Oaks Academy - Grammar is the clear standout, ranking in the 85th percentile with 4 stars and posting all-grade proficiency of 73.8% in math, 60.7% in reading, and 33.0% in science — above the state in all three subjects. Among the Farmington schools, Meadowview Elementary (46th percentile) and North Trail Elementary (43rd percentile) are the strongest. Riverview Elementary (38th percentile) has solid reading at 48.3% but weaker math and science, while Akin Road Elementary and Farmington Elementary (29th percentile, 1 star) trail, with Farmington Elementary's reading at 35.7%, which is 12.9 points below the state.

Science is the biggest shared weakness: state science proficiency is 25.5%, and only Meadowview Elementary (24.2%) comes close, while Akin Road Elementary (9.2%) and North Trail Elementary (10.2%) are far below, and all five Farmington schools lost ground in science this year. Reading is uneven — North Trail (49.6%) tops the Farmington group, while Farmington Elementary fell nearly 11 points. Trends diverge too: North Trail and Great Oaks have improved their rankings over three years, while Farmington Elementary and Akin Road have declined. Free/reduced lunch rates range from 17.67% to 36.51%, and class sizes from 12.1 to 16.4 students per teacher — notably, the highest-performing school has the largest classes.
