Summary:

The Rothsay Public School District in Minnesota is a small district serving roughly 334 students across two schools: Rothsay Elementary, which covers grades PK–6 with 194 students, and Rothsay Secondary, which covers grades 7–12 with 140 students. The district is ranked 183 of 458 in Minnesota, placing it at the 60th percentile with 3 stars.

The two schools have very different profiles. Rothsay Elementary is the academic standout: in 2025–2026 its all-grade proficiency was 55.7 in Math and 53.6 in Reading, above both the district (50.0 and 48.4) and the state (44.9 and 48.6). Rothsay Secondary came in below the district in all three subjects, with 41.3 in Math and 39.7 in Reading. Yet Rothsay Secondary is the completion standout, posting a 95.6% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, well ahead of the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. Both schools earned 3 stars in 2025–2026, and the elementary school's strongest recent showing was 4 stars in 2023–2024.

Science is the clearest shared weakness: Rothsay Elementary scored 19.0 and Rothsay Secondary 15.0, both below the state's 25.5. Reading trends moved in opposite directions, with elementary Reading up about 6 points and secondary Reading down about 6 points, while secondary Math fell 8 points to below the state level. Grade-level results should be read with caution, since small cohorts of students can swing percentages sharply from year to year.
