Glen Lake Elementary

Summary:

Glen Lake Elementary is a public elementary school located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving 455 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. This school consistently ranks among the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools and outperforms its Hopkins Public School District and the state on standardized assessments, making it a standout educational institution in the area.

Glen Lake Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its students' performance on MCA-III assessments. In 2023-2024, 55.45% of Glen Lake students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 37.73% for the Hopkins district and 45.47% for the state. In Reading, 58.42% of Glen Lake students were proficient or better, compared to 47.76% for the district and 49.85% for the state. The school also excels in Science, with 51.43% of students proficient or better, compared to 33.23% for the district and 39.56% for the state. This consistent academic performance sets Glen Lake apart from nearby schools like Eisenhower Elementary and Gatewood Elementary, both in the Hopkins district, which have lower academic achievement.

In addition to its strong academic results, Glen Lake Elementary stands out for its diverse student population. The school has a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, and multiracial students compared to the surrounding Minnetonka Public School District. This diversity is accompanied by a focus on equity, as the school's performance for African American and low-socioeconomic status students is also relatively high. While Groveland Elementary and Scenic Heights Elementary in the Minnetonka district have even higher academic performance, they serve a less diverse student population.

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.

Open Quote Excellent teachers. We have been happy with every teacher so far. Strong parent involvement, Challenge program and Chess Club are just a few of the great things Glen Lake has to offer. We are fortunate to have such a great neighborhood school. Our kids have thrived there. Close Quote

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.
