Summary:
Rockford Public School District in Minnesota is home to a single middle school, Rockford Middle, which serves grades 5–8 and enrolls 487 students at 6051 Ash St in Rockford. With only one middle school in the district, there is no within-district comparison to make, so the school's own data tells the story. Its student-teacher ratio is 18:1, and 29.36% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Reading is the school's clear strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade reading proficiency was 54.1%, above both the district (50.8%) and the state (48.6%) — 5.5 percentage points above the state. Eighth grade is a bright spot, with reading at 60.9% versus the state's 50.0% and math at 53.2% versus 42.3%, both 10.9 points above the state. Reading also improved by 3.27 points year over year while district and state reading scores slipped slightly. Fifth and seventh grade reading (57.9% and 48.6%) also topped the state; sixth grade reading (49.6%) was the only reading grade below it, by 3.8 points.
Math is the biggest concern. All-grade math proficiency was 30.3%, 14.6 points below the state and down 5.33 points from 35.63% the year before — a much steeper drop than the district or state. Lower grades drive the gap: fifth grade math was 25.2 points below the state and sixth grade 16.7 points below. All-grade science (21.5%) also trailed the state (25.5%), though grade-level results were mixed. The school has held 3 stars for three years, with its percentile drifting from 66 to 64.
