Summary:
The Royalton Public School District in Minnesota serves 938 students across four schools: two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district ranks 150 of 458 schools statewide, placing it in the 67th percentile with 3 stars. That solid overall picture, however, masks wide differences between the individual schools.
Royalton Elementary is the academic standout, enrolling 420 students, or 44.8% of the district. It climbed from the 69th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–2024 to the 77th percentile and 4 stars in 2025–2026, and it is the only school that improved in math, reading, and science over the past year. Its math proficiency is 64.6% and reading 61.7%, both well above the state's 44.9% and 48.6%. Royalton Middle School tells the opposite story: 203 students and a three-year decline from the 67th to the 43rd percentile and from 3 stars to 2. It trails district and state in all three subjects, with 6th-grade math at 17.4% and 6th-grade reading at 31.9% as the sharpest weak points, though 8th-grade reading at 60.3% beats the state's 50.0%.
Royalton High School, with 293 students, has a mixed profile: a 97.4% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, both far better than the state, and science consistently above state levels, but weak math at 30.0% versus 35.3% statewide in 11th grade. Royalton Public Schools Early Child serves 22 PK–K students and has no test-score or rank data. The clearest priorities are middle school math and reading and high school math.
