Summary:
Middle schools in the Dover-Eyota Public School District are served by a single school: Dover-Eyota Middle School, which educates students in grades 6 through 8 at 615 S Ave SW in Eyota, Minnesota, with an enrollment of 237. Because it is the only middle school in the district, it represents the district's entire middle-level profile, and its grade 6–8 test results are also the district's middle-school results. The wider Dover-Eyota Public School District is highly rated, ranking 39th of 458 districts, in the 91st percentile, with 5 stars.
The school's rating has been volatile but is currently on a strong upswing. It ranked 227th of 545 schools (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–24, slipped to 265th of 519 (49th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–25, then jumped to 111th of 546 (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26 — a 154-position rise in one year. Reading is the clearest strength: 56% of all grades tested proficient, versus 48.6% statewide, and reading is above the state at every tested grade, led by 7th grade at 58.9% compared with 43.5% statewide. Proficiency also rose in every subject from 2024–25 to 2025–26: math from 34.91% to 45.8%, reading from 42.49% to 56%, and science from 12.05% to 15.6%.
Science is the main academic concern. All-grades science proficiency is 15.6%, below the state's 25.5% and the district's 31.9%; at 8th grade, the only tested grade, it is 15.6% against 16.7% statewide — close to the state but still lower. Math is mixed: all-grades math is 45.8%, slightly above the state's 44.9% but below the district's 53.7%, with 6th grade 10.5 points above state and 8th grade 6.4 points above, while 7th grade is 1.9 points below. Context data show 20.68% free/reduced lunch participation and a student/teacher ratio of 18.1 in 2024–25, but no state or district benchmarks are provided for these figures.
