Summary

Caledonia Middle is a grades 6–8 school in Caledonia, MN, serving 138 students in the Caledonia Public School District, with nearby middle schools including Rushford-Peterson Middle, La Crescent-Hokah Middle School, and Minnesota Virtual Academy Middle. In 2025–2026 it ranked 28th of 546 Minnesota middle schools — the 95th percentile with 5 stars — while its district ranked 15th of 458, the 97th percentile with 5 stars. The school has climbed steadily from the 40th percentile with 2 stars in 2015–2016 to the 95th percentile with 5 stars, moving from the lower half of the state to the top 5%.

Math and reading are the clearest strengths. In 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 62.3% versus the state’s 44.9%, and reading was 68.3% versus the state’s 48.6%. Caledonia Middle leads nearby schools by large margins: math proficiency is 41.8% at Rushford-Peterson Middle, 34.8% at La Crescent-Hokah Middle School, and 9.5% at Minnesota Virtual Academy Middle; reading is 49.7%, 51.4%, and 46.7%, respectively. Science is more mixed: 25.0% all-grade, slightly below the state’s 25.5% all-grade figure but above the state’s 16.7% for 8th grade and well above nearby schools. The school also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.6, compared with 18.6 at Rushford-Peterson Middle and 13.9 at La Crescent-Hokah Middle School.

For parents, the bottom line is that Caledonia Middle is a standout regional school. Its low-income students rank 6th of 458 in the state — the 99th percentile with 5 stars — showing exceptional effectiveness for that subgroup. Watch items include science, which has been volatile, with recent values of 25.0%, 12.2%, 39.58%, and 26.79%, and the lack of recent special education subgroup data, which makes current performance for those students unknown from this data. Even with those caveats, it is the only school in this nearby comparison group with 5 stars and clearly leads on math and reading.
