Summary:
Triton School District is a small Minnesota district serving 889 students across three schools — one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12) — with no alternative schools.
The district overall ranks in the 58th percentile with 3 stars, but its schools differ sharply. Triton High School is the standout: 75th percentile, 4 stars, and a rank that has held steady near the 73rd–75th percentile for three years. It reports a 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, well above state figures of 84.9% and 4.2%. Its 11th-grade math (39.3% vs. 35.3% state), 10th-grade reading (45.1% vs. 42.5%), and science End of Course (42.2% vs. 35.0%) all beat state averages, though its all-grades math fell from 50.85% to 39.3% in one year. Triton Elementary sits in the 42nd percentile with 2 stars; its math is a strength (51.9%, above district and state), but reading (40.7% vs. 48.6% state) and science (20.3% vs. 25.5%) lag, with 3rd-grade reading especially low at 32.8%.
Triton Middle School is the district's biggest concern: 48th percentile, 2 stars, down from 61st percentile and 3 stars two years ago. Science is just 10% proficient (state 25.5%) and reading 35.6% (state 48.6%), while 7th- and 8th-grade math exceed state averages. Free/reduced lunch rates (44.79% elementary, 29.73% middle, 32.51% high) and student/teacher ratios (10.1, 12.7, 12.6) do not track neatly with performance. In short: a strong high school, solid elementary math, and middle school reading and science needing the most attention.
