Groveland Elementary

Summary:

Groveland Elementary is a highly-ranked public elementary school in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving 879 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Minnetonka Public School District, which is ranked 8th out of 463 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Groveland Elementary consistently outperforms the Minnetonka district and the state of Minnesota in proficiency rates for MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 83.73% of Groveland students were proficient or better in MCA-III Math, compared to 75.17% for the district and 45.47% for the state. The school also ranks exceptionally well for its performance with specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

While Groveland's academic performance is impressive, the school's relatively homogeneous racial/ethnic composition, with 83.16% of students identifying as white, is worth noting. This is higher than the racial diversity seen at some nearby schools, such as Scenic Heights Elementary (63.58% white) and Gleason Lake Elementary (65.01% white). This may indicate a need to further diversify the student population or examine any potential barriers to access or inclusion for underrepresented groups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
