Summary:
The Rothsay Public School District has one elementary school, Rothsay Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 179 students.
Rothsay Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the district. The school has consistently ranked in the top half of Minnesota elementary schools, with a ranking of 254 out of 881 in the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the top 29% of schools statewide. The school's math proficiency rates are notably higher than the state average, with 57.32% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the Minnesota average of 45.21%. Rothsay Elementary's reading proficiency rates are closer to the state average, but still above in some grade levels, such as 5th grade (60% proficient vs. 57.09% statewide). Additionally, the school's science proficiency rate of 43.75% in 2023-2024 is higher than the district average of 25% and the state average of 39.56%.
Rothsay Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, which is below the state average and may contribute to the school's strong academic performance. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 36.87% is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively affluent student population. The school's performance on state assessments has been somewhat inconsistent, with its ranking fluctuating between the top 29% and top 48% of Minnesota elementary schools over the past three years, indicating a need for a more consistent approach to maintaining and improving student outcomes.
