SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 869 Minnesota Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Minnesota elementary schools

Summary

Byron Intermediate School in Byron, MN, serves 551 students in grades 3–5 and is part of the Byron Public School District, which ranks 11th of 458 Minnesota districts (98th percentile, 5 stars). In 2025–2026 the school ranked 46th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools—95th percentile with 5 stars—and it has earned 5 stars every year shown, including an 8th-place statewide rank in 2017–2018. Its nearest same-district neighbor is Byron Primary School (PK–2), just 0.13 miles away; other nearby options are Rochester elementaries roughly 5–8 miles away.

Math is the school's signature strength: 81.6% of students were proficient, well above the 44.9% state average and 17.2 points above its own district. That is also above every nearby Rochester school and essentially tied with Kasson-Mantorville Elementary (81.9%). Reading (66.7%) and science (41.5%) remain above state averages—by 18.1 and 16.0 points—but both sit slightly below the district and trail Folwell Elementary (75.4% reading, 46.4% science), a nearby school with a nearly identical share of students from lower-income families (15.91% vs. 15.97%). Reading has slipped from 74.91% in 2022–2023, and science dropped sharply from 70.24% in 2022–2023 to 41.5%, though a change in the state science exam between those years may affect comparability.

On equity, the school performs exceptionally well: its effectiveness with low-income students ranks in the 96th–98th percentile across three years, and female and male students rank in the 91st–97th percentile range. Special education results are strong but uneven—93rd percentile in 2023–2024, 59th in 2024–2025, and 90th in 2025–2026—a worthwhile watch item. The student-teacher ratio improved to 15.9 in 2024–2025 from 18.8 in 2022–2023, though it remains higher than Byron Primary School's 11.7.
