Summary:
Elementary Schools located in Rochester Math and Science Academy consist of exactly one school: Rochester Math & Science Elementary, a K–6 campus at 415 16th St SW in Rochester, Minnesota serving 322 students, with 93.17% qualifying for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4. The district itself ranks 281 of 458 districts (39th percentile, 2 stars), placing it slightly above the school's own standing.
Because there is only one school here, this is a single-school profile rather than a comparison. The school's rank percentile improved each year, from 15th (752 of 881) in 2023–2024 to 22nd (684 of 872) in 2024–2025 to 27th (631 of 869) in 2025–2026, yet it remains in the bottom third of Minnesota schools with a 1-star rating all three years. In 2025–2026 all-grade results, math was 39.6% (district 42.9%, state 44.9%), reading was 32.9% (district 37.1%, state 48.6%), and science was 12.5% (district 4.8%, state 25.5%). Math showed the clearest gain, rising from 28.77% in 2024–2025, a +10.83 point jump, while the district rose +6.27 points. Science exceeded the district by 7.7 points but trailed the state by 13.0 points.
Grade-level results in 2025–2026 show reading is the biggest concern: 3rd grade was 20% versus the state's 46.8%, and 4th grade was 21.9% versus 48.8%, while 6th grade reached 48.6% against the state's 53.4%, suggesting stronger reading in later grades. 5th grade math, at 42.5%, was the only grade-level subject above the state's 41.9%. Parents should note that grade-level scores cover only 2025–2026, free/reduced lunch and student-teacher ratio cover only 2024–2025, and the district's all-grade science figure of 4.8% appears lower than the school's, so that benchmark should be interpreted with caution.
