Summary:
There is one elementary school serving the Rollingstone area: Rollingstone Community School, a K–5 school with 59 students in the Rollingstone Community School district. It is a small school by Minnesota standards, which shapes how its results should be read. In 2024–2025, 44.07% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio was 11.3. The school ranks 511 of 869 elementary schools statewide (41st percentile, 2 stars), and its district ranks 289 of 458 (37th percentile, 2 stars).
On 2025–2026 state tests, the school sits close to Minnesota averages overall: Math 44.1% proficient versus 44.9% statewide, and Reading 47.1% versus 48.6% — gaps of less than two points. That is a large change from 2024–2025, when both subjects were at 20%. Math rose 24.1 points and Reading 27.1 points while state averages slipped slightly. Third grade is the clearest bright spot: Reading 80% proficient against a state figure of 46.8%, and Math 70% against 57.9%, both well above average.
Fourth grade is the weakest reported area, with Math at 38.1% versus 55.2% statewide and Reading at 33.3% versus 48.8% — double-digit gaps below state. Fifth grade Math, Reading and Science, along with all-grade Science, were suppressed by the state to protect student privacy, so those figures are unknown rather than poor. Because enrollment is only 59 students, a handful of children can move a grade-level percentage sharply, so single-year swings should be watched over time. The Reading exam is also labeled MCA-III in 2024–2025 and MCA-IV in 2025–2026, so year-over-year Reading comparisons deserve some caution.
