High Schools in Rocori Public School District

High schools in Rocori Public School District include three schools serving grades 6–12: Rocori Senior High (grades 9–12, 824 students), Rocori Online Learning Site (grades 6–12, 72 students), and Rocori Alternative Learning Center (grades 7–12, 27 students), for 923 high-school students total. The district is ranked 165th of 458 in Minnesota with 3 stars. District outcomes are an 88.1% graduation rate, 5.3% dropout rate, and 2025–2026 proficiency of 48.8% in math, 46.6% in reading, and 24.7% in science, compared with state rates of 84.9%, 4.2%, 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%.

Rocori Senior High is the clear anchor: it enrolls about 89.3% of these students, has the strongest graduation rate at 92.2%, the lowest dropout rate at 3.8%, and science proficiency of 40.2%, above district and state. Its latest rank is 183 of 473, a 61st percentile, down from 68th in 2024–2025 but above 58th in 2023–2024. Rocori Online Learning Site has a 77.7% graduation rate, 14.8% dropout rate, 36.11% free/reduced lunch, and the highest known student/teacher ratio at 19.1; all school-level test scores are suppressed. Rocori Alternative Learning Center is the smallest, with 36.3% graduation, 9.0% dropout, 48.15% free/reduced lunch, and reported math proficiency of 0% for All Grades and 11th Grade, while reading and science are suppressed. Its size and alternative setting make comparisons limited.

Overall, Rocori Senior High provides a relatively strong comprehensive high-school profile, with science a consistent bright spot. At the All Grades level, its 2025–2026 math (35.8%) and reading (38.1%) trail district figures, but 11th Grade math (35.8%) is above the district’s 33.2% and slightly above the state’s 35.3%. Reading at Rocori Senior High appears to drop from 55.56% in 2024–2025 to 38.1% in 2025–2026, though the exam label changes from MCA-III to MCA-IV, so it is an interesting data point rather than a definitive decline. Free/reduced lunch rates run inversely with graduation outcomes across the three schools, but this is a correlation, not proof of causation. Suppressed values for the Online and Alternative schools should not be read as zero or as evidence of weakness.
