Summary:
ZIP code 55337 contains 15 schools — 9 elementary, 2 middle, and 4 high schools — enrolling roughly 7,124 students across four districts: Burnsville-Eagan-Savage Schools (11 schools), Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (Echo Park only), Seven Hills Preparatory Academy, and Universal Academy Charter School. Size varies dramatically, from Burnsville High School (2,029 students) and Burnsville Area Learning Center (1,350) to Universal Academy South Middle/High (11) and ONE91 Virtual Academy Elementary (34). Where data show a dash, the state suppressed the figure for privacy — treat it as unknown, not as zero.
Academically, Seven Hills - Burnsville Elementary leads the area, beating the state in math (55.0% vs 44.9%), reading (57.4% vs 48.6%), and science (33.3% vs 25.5%), with the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate (35.83%). Echo Park Leadership Engineer/Technical also tops the state in all three subjects (49.2%, 52.5%, 33.1%) and climbed from the 36th to the 59th percentile in three years. Within the lower-ranked Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district, William Byrne Elementary (47.5% math, 55.3% reading) and Gideon Pond Elementary (49.0%, 51.4%) still beat the state in math and reading. At the other end, Vista View Elementary (23.0% math, 25.8% reading, 1.9% science), Sky Oaks Elementary (24.6%, 27.9%, 5.4%), and ONE91 Virtual Academy Elementary (10.0% math) lag far behind.
Science is the clearest weakness: only two schools beat the state's 25.5%. Poverty tracks with lower scores — Universal Academy South Elementary has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate at 92.23% — yet William Byrne and Gideon Pond show a roughly 52–53% rate does not prevent strong results. The biggest lesson for parents: district rank can hide school-level differences, since the 1-star Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district contains both top performers and the lowest. Two schools report graduation rates: Burnsville High School (83.6%, below the state's 84.9%, dropout 6.1%) and ONE91 Virtual Academy Secondary (76.1%, dropout 7.9%). Small schools like Universal Academy South Middle/High have volatile percentages, and alternative programs have no reported test scores, so they can't fairly be ranked on academics.
