Summary:
Zip code 55364 is home to five schools — two elementary (K–4), one middle (5–7), and two high schools (8–12, plus a grade-12-only program) — all serving about 2,380 students in the Westonka Public School District near Minnetrista, Minnesota, and every reported school-level test score in the area tops the state average.
The district itself is ranked 5th of 458 in Minnesota, at the 99th percentile with 5 stars, and that strength shows up school by school. Hilltop Primary School is the academic standout: it ranks 4th of 869 elementary schools for two straight years, reaches the 100th percentile, and posts the area's highest all-grade math score at 89.8% and 3rd grade math at 90.8%, while enrolling the lowest free/reduced-lunch share among regular schools (15.4%). Shirley Hills Primary School is close behind at 12th of 869 with 84.6% math and 85.6% reading, including the highest reading value anywhere in the data, 91.6% in 3rd grade — notable because it has the highest FRL rate (20.36%) of the regular schools. Westonka Middle School ranks 10th of 546 at 98th percentile, with strong reading (80.8% all grades, 87.2% in 5th grade) and 6th grade as its relative dip (67.1% math, 74.9% reading).
Westonka High School ranks 10th of 473 with a 97.6% graduation rate (state: 84.9%) and a 1.1% dropout rate (state: 4.2%); its all-grade scores of 66.3% math and 71.2% reading sit below the district-wide figures because those include the elite elementary and middle grades, yet remain far above state. Science is mixed there — the Science End of Course score is 58.8%, versus 8th grade science at 26.9%. Transition Plus, a 10-student grade-12 setting with 60% FRL and a 5.0 student/teacher ratio, has no reported test-score or ranking data, so it shouldn't be read as an academic weakness.
