Bloomington Public School District

The Bloomington Public School District in Minnesota consists of 21 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 6 high schools, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

The district is home to several standout schools, such as Ridgeview Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, and Jefferson Senior High, the top-performing high school in the district with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Other high-performing schools include Olson Middle, which is the top-performing middle school in the district. In contrast, some schools, such as Valley View Middle, Indian Mounds Elementary, and Washburn Elementary, have consistently lower proficiency rates and lower SchoolDigger ratings.

The data reveals significant racial and socioeconomic disparities within the district, with schools serving higher percentages of minority and low-income students generally performing worse academically. However, the consistent high performance of schools like Ridgeview Elementary and Jefferson Senior High suggests that targeted interventions and support could help improve outcomes for the lower-performing schools and close these achievement gaps.
