Summary
Dover-Eyota High School is a public high school in Eyota, MN, serving grades 9–12 with 311 students in the Dover-Eyota Public School District, a small rural community near Rochester. In 2025–2026, it ranked 16th of 473 Minnesota high schools (97th percentile, 5 stars), placing it in the top 4% statewide—a dramatic jump from 2024–2025, when it ranked 202nd of 450 (55th percentile, 3 stars). The district also ranks 39th of 458 Minnesota districts (91st percentile, 5 stars).
For parents comparing nearby options, the school leads nearby comprehensive high schools in 2025–2026 math and reading, and is essentially tied with St. Charles Secondary in science. Its 11th-grade math score was 52.6%, its 10th-grade reading score was 63.5%, and its science End-of-Course score was 56.0%; those are 17.3, 21, and 21 points above the state, respectively. By contrast, Century High School and Mayo High School scored lower in math, reading, and science, while Chatfield Secondary was lower in all three. Enrollment is smaller than all these comprehensive nearby schools, and its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 18.5, higher than St. Charles Secondary (17.0) and Chatfield Secondary (15.6).
Graduation and dropout results are a clear strength: the school reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, above every reporting nearby school and well above the state’s 84.9% graduation and 4.2% dropout rates. Its 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch rate was 14.15%, the lowest among reporting nearby schools. In 2025–2026, the school earned 5 stars for male students, special education students, and low-income students, and 4 stars for female students, suggesting broad effectiveness. Because the school is small, single-year swings can be large—math rebounded from 17.78% in 2024–2025—so the key question is whether the latest top-tier results are a durable new level or a particularly strong year.
