Summary

Rocori Senior High is a 9–12 comprehensive high school with 824 students in Cold Spring, MN, part of the Rocori Public School District, which serves small-town and rural communities near St. Cloud. It is ranked 183rd of 473 Minnesota high schools for 2025–2026 — the 61st percentile, with a 3-star rating. That is a partial recovery: Rocori sat in the 97th percentile in 2015–2016 and fell to the 39th percentile by 2022–2023, so the recent trend is upward but not yet back to its earlier heights.

Outcomes are a strength. The 2024–2025 graduation rate is 92.2% and the dropout rate is 3.8%, both better than the state (84.9% and 4.2%). Science is the clearest academic bright spot: End-of-Course proficiency of 40.2% beats the state's 35% and the district's 40%, and far exceeds Apollo Senior High (18.7%) and Technical Senior High (21.7%). Math and Reading are more mixed. At the tested high-school grades, 11th-grade Math (35.8%) is essentially at the state (35.3%), while 10th-grade Reading (38.1%) is slightly above the district but below the state's 42.5%. Note that all-grade comparisons against the district include middle school grades, which can make the gap look larger than it is. Watch two things: whether Math holds its improvement and whether Reading recovers.

About 24.5% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch — far below the St. Cloud Public School District high schools (61–64%) but similar to Kimball Secondary (20.3%) and Eden Valley Secondary (22.8%), which both post higher graduation rates and stronger Math and Reading results. Rocori's same-district programs, Rocori Online Learning Site and Rocori Alternative Learning Center, serve different populations with much lower graduation rates, so they shouldn't be read as a reflection of the comprehensive high school. Overall: strong completion outcomes, science above state, and math and reading with room to grow.
