Summary:
Rosemount, Minnesota is home to 12 schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, split between two districts: Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan (RAVE), which operates 6 schools, and Intermediate School District 917, also with 6 schools. Together they include 3 elementary, 1 middle, 5 high, and 3 alternative schools enrolling 5,967 students. The five traditional RAVE schools enroll 5,490 students (92.0%) of the city total, and enrollment is highly skewed: the median school has only 122.5 students, while Rosemount Senior High alone holds 39.6% of all city enrollment.
Rosemount Senior High is the clear flagship: ranked 23rd of 473 schools (95th percentile, 5 stars), with a 94.6% graduation rate, a 1.6% dropout rate, and science proficiency of 57.7%—more than double the state's 25.5%. Reading (52.5%) is above the state but below the RAVE district average. Among elementaries, Shannon Park Elementary is the standout, at the 89th percentile with 4 stars and proficiency of 66.8% in Math, 65.4% in Reading, and 49.4% in Science, all well above district and state. Rosemount Elementary is the lowest-ranked traditional school at the 41st percentile with 2 stars, scoring below district and state in Math and Reading. Parkview Elementary sits mid-range but posts a low Science score of 21.3%.
Rosemount Middle ranks in the 88th percentile with 4 stars, but its Science score of 25.6% barely edges the state and trails the district's 37.2%, suggesting a science gap in the lower grades that the high school does not share. The ISD 917 and alternative schools—such as 917 Tesa and 917 Sun Aec—are far smaller, mostly under 150 students, with higher poverty indicators, lower student/teacher ratios, and frequent state-suppressed test scores. 196Online High School reports an 80.0% graduation rate but an 11.4% dropout rate, above the state's 4.2%. Their results are not directly comparable to the traditional schools.
