About Schools in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Minneapolis, Minnesota has 125 ranked public schools, giving parents a broad field to evaluate. The city averages 6.1 out of 10 across those schools — a middling baseline that masks significant variation at both ends of the range. Thirty-eight schools, or 30% of the ranked total, score 7 or higher, so parents willing to compare will find a real concentration of strong options alongside schools that fall well below the city mean.

The top of the performance range is anchored by Lake Harriet Upper Elementary, which scores 9.8 out of 10 — the highest-rated school in the city. CVA Fusion Elementary School (K-5) follows at 9.7, with Bancroft Elementary (9.4), Burroughs Elementary (9.1), and Kenny Elementary (9.0) rounding out the five highest-rated schools. All five are elementary schools. That pattern signals the city's strongest academic performance concentrates in the early grades, and parents of younger children have the most options at the top tier.

The spread from the city average of 6.1 to the top score of 9.8 is nearly four full points. That gap is wide enough that school selection makes a concrete difference in Minneapolis — more so than in cities where the top and average are closer together. Families should not treat the city-wide average as a reliable proxy for what any individual school delivers.

For parents starting their search, Minneapolis rewards school-by-school comparison over neighborhood assumptions. The 30% of schools scoring 7 or above are not evenly distributed across the city, and proximity alone is a poor guide to quality. Use MySchoolScout's map and filters to identify which high-scoring schools fall within your attendance zone or are reachable through open enrollment before narrowing your list. Elementary-level options at the top are strong; plan to look harder at the middle and high school levels where the top-tier concentration thins out.
