Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan

The Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district in Minnesota serves over 27,000 students across 37 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 9 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district is home to several standout schools, such as Woodland Elementary, which ranks 29th out of 881 Minnesota elementary schools, and Eastview Senior High, which ranks 10th out of 480 Minnesota high schools.

The district's overall performance is strong, with the district ranking 100th out of 463 districts in Minnesota and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement between schools, with some high-poverty schools like Dakota Ridge School struggling to meet proficiency standards, while more affluent schools like Woodland Elementary and Shannon Park Elementary excel. This suggests a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance in the district.

The district also faces challenges at its alternative and online schools, such as Rosemount Area Learning Center, which have lower proficiency rates, higher dropout rates, and serve more disadvantaged student populations. Additionally, the data reveals significant racial and ethnic disparities in student outcomes, with White and Asian students generally outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers across the district.
