Roseau Public School District

Roseau Public School District in Minnesota serves about 1,101 students across two schools sharing a connected PK–12 campus in Roseau: Roseau Elementary (PK–6, 574 students) and Roseau Secondary (7–12, 527 students). There is no middle school or alternative school listed, so students move from the elementary directly into the secondary. The district as a whole sits at 190 of 458, the 59th percentile, with 3 stars.

The two schools have very different profiles. Roseau Secondary is the standout on rank: 98 of 473, the 79th percentile, 4 stars, up sharply from the 56th percentile a year earlier. Its graduation rate is 90.3% versus the state's 84.9%, its dropout rate is 4.3% versus 4.2%, and End-of-Course science proficiency is 54.1% against the state's 35.0%. Yet its all-grade math (28.4%) and reading (38.5%) fall below both district and state averages, so rank and test scores tell different stories here. Roseau Elementary ranks 427 of 869, the 51st percentile, 3 stars, but posts higher all-grade proficiency than the secondary in math (44.2%) and reading (49.7%), with reading above the state's 48.6%.

For parents, the clearest shared concern is the middle grades. In Roseau Elementary, 6th-grade math is 24.4% versus the state's 39.5% and 6th-grade reading is 35.6% versus 53.4%, after strong reading results in grades 3–5. In Roseau Secondary, 8th-grade math is 14.9% versus 42.3% and 8th-grade science is 10.6% versus 16.7%, though 11th-grade math (36.2%) edges the state. Roseau Public School District offers solid early reading and strong high school outcomes, with 6th through 8th grade as the area to watch.
