Summary:
Elementary schools in ZIP code 55417 include five schools serving a range of grade levels, from K–1 and K–2 programs to full K–5 schools, with a combined enrollment of 869 students split between Minneapolis Public School District and Cyber Village Academy.
Lake Nokomis Keewaydin Elementary is the clear current academic standout, with 2025-26 proficiency above both district and state in math, reading, and science, and reading especially strong at 59.6%. It also improved in all three subjects from 2024-25 and moved up to 67th percentile, 3 stars in state rank. Its one relative weak spot is 5th grade math at 40.2%, slightly below the state's 41.9%, while reading stays strong across grades. Hale Elementary has the lowest poverty indicator in the group, a 17.18% free/reduced-lunch rate, and a notable historical rank profile of 99th percentile with 5 stars in 2020-21, but because it serves K–2 it does not report current state test scores here; those old ranks should not be read as today's results. Lake Nokomis Wenonah Elementary is K–1 and likewise has no current test data, with only very old low ranks from 2003–2006.
The two Cyber Village Academy schools are very small and heavily suppressed in the data. CVA Hybrid Elementary School (K-5) has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 5.3, but a sharp split: math is 17.4%, far below district and state, while reading is 43.5%, above its district but below the state, with 5th grade reading at 60% a bright spot. CVA 100% Online Elementary School has just 12 students, the highest poverty indicator at 66.67%, and all test values suppressed with “—”, so no performance conclusion can be drawn. Across the ZIP code, enrollment is concentrated—the three Minneapolis Public schools account for about 95.2% of students—and a low student-teacher ratio does not by itself guarantee high outcomes.
