Summary:
Caledonia, Minnesota is home to three public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade — Caledonia Elementary (PK–5), Caledonia Middle (6–8), and Caledonia Senior High (9–12) — with 692 students total in the Caledonia Public School District, which ranks 15th of 458 Minnesota districts, in the 97th percentile, with 5 stars.
The middle and high schools are the clear standouts. Caledonia Middle ranks 28th of 546 middle schools (95th percentile, 5 stars) and Caledonia Senior High ranks 26th of 473 high schools (95th percentile, 5 stars), making both top-5% schools statewide in 2025–2026. Both have climbed steadily: the middle school rose from the 84th to the 95th percentile since 2023–2024, and the high school from the 76th to the 95th. The high school's science proficiency of 54.8% is more than double Minnesota's 25.5%, and its 94.5% graduation rate and 2.7% dropout rate beat the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Caledonia Elementary is solidly above state averages in math (64.6%) and reading (67.9%) and ranks 127th of 869 elementary schools (85th percentile, 4 stars).
A few softer spots are worth watching. Elementary science is 35.8% — above the state's 25.5% but below the district's 39.5% — and 5th-grade math (45.3%) trails the school's own 4th-grade math (79.6%). Middle school science, at 25%, is below the district's 39.5% but more than doubled from 12.2% the prior year, and its 8th-grade figure of 25% beats the state's 16.7%. The high school's reading slipped to 56.5% from 66.67%. Keep in mind that comparing grade levels directly can mislead, since each school takes different tests — and within its own level, each ranks near the top of the state.
