Eagle Ridge Middle School

Summary:

Eagle Ridge Middle School is a public magnet middle school located in Savage, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a small student population of 57 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's diverse student body is 26.32% White, 22.81% African American, 38.6% Hispanic, 5.26% Asian, and 7.02% two or more races.

Despite being a magnet school, Eagle Ridge Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota middle schools over the past 10 years, ranging from 220th to 366th out of over 500 schools. Its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates it is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science are significantly lower than the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage district and state averages. While White and Asian students perform relatively better, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students struggle, ranking in the bottom quarter or third of Minnesota middle schools in these categories.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 82.46% in 2022-2023, suggests Eagle Ridge Middle School may be facing significant socioeconomic challenges. When compared to other middle schools in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage and Bloomington districts, such as Joseph Nicollet Middle School and Olson Middle School, Eagle Ridge consistently underperforms in academic proficiency. Despite these challenges, the presence of a magnet program and the relatively strong performance of White and Asian students suggest there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve the academic outcomes of underperforming student 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.
