Summary:
Randolph, Minnesota is served by two schools in the Randolph Public School District, both on the same campus on Dawson Avenue: Randolph Elementary, serving grades PK–6 with 445 students, and Randolph Secondary, serving grades 7–12 with 430 students, for a combined enrollment of roughly 875. The Randolph Public School District is rated 387th of 458 in Minnesota, at the 16th percentile, with 1 star — a rating that largely reflects the weaker results at the secondary level.
Randolph Elementary is the stronger academic performer, ranking 528 of 869 in 2025–2026 at the 39th percentile with 2 stars, and holding in the 2-star range for three years. Its 2025–2026 proficiency exceeds the district in every subject — math 42.2% vs 30.4%, reading 45.6% vs 31.2%, science 14.8% vs 8.7% — and math and reading are close to state averages. Third-grade math is a bright spot at 67.8%, above the state's 57.9%, but math falls below state averages in grades 4–6, down to 28.8% in 6th grade, and science is a clear weakness at 14.8% versus the state's 25.5%. Free/reduced lunch is 17.75%.
Randolph Secondary shows a sharp contrast: very low test proficiency alongside outstanding completion outcomes. It ranks 420 of 473, at the 11th percentile with 1 star, and its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency is 13.8% in math, 11.2% in reading, and 5.4% in science — far below both district and state. Reading fell from 21.3% to 11.2% year over year; 8th grade reading is 5.5% and 8th grade science is 0%. Yet the school reports a 98.5% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, both far better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Its student-teacher ratio is 17.8 versus 13.5 at the elementary school, while free/reduced lunch is nearly identical at 17.21%.
