Summary

Dover-Eyota Middle School is a public middle school serving 259 students in grades 6-8 in Eyota, Minnesota. The school is part of the Dover-Eyota Public School District, which is ranked 155 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Dover-Eyota Middle School has seen fluctuations in its performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 139 to 297 out of over 500 Minnesota middle schools. The school's current 3-star rating indicates average performance compared to other schools in the state. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally performing better than male students. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments in math, reading, and science are generally below the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Plainview-Elgin-Millville Junior, located about 10 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 20% of Minnesota middle schools and outperforms Dover-Eyota across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, around 20% in recent years, may be contributing to its lower academic performance compared to more affluent neighboring districts. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in its student-teacher ratio, from 15.7 in 2021-2022 to 20.8 in 2023-2024, which could be a factor in the school's academic challenges.
