Summary

Dover-Eyota Middle School is a grades 6–8 school with 237 students in the small southeastern Minnesota town of Eyota, part of the Dover-Eyota Public School District, which ranks 39 of 458 districts statewide (91st percentile, 5 stars).

In 2025–2026 the school posted the best result in its displayed history: 111 of 546 Minnesota middle schools, 80th percentile, 4 stars — up from 49th percentile and 2 stars the year before. Reading proficiency reached 56.0%, which is 7.4 points above the state, while math came in at 45.8%, only 0.9 points above the state. Science is the clear weak spot at 15.6%, just under the state's 16.7% and behind John Adams Middle School (23.4%) and Plainview-Elgin-Millville Middle (16.3%). Among nearby conventional middle schools, Dover-Eyota outranks Plainview-Elgin-Millville Middle (68th percentile), John Adams Middle School (63rd), Willow Creek (62nd) and Stewartville Middle (59th), while the Rochester Public School District schools cluster between the 42nd and 63rd percentiles. Gains were broad, with male students rising from the 25th to the 72nd percentile and low-income students from the 44th to the 67th. Grade-level results stand out most in 7th-grade reading at 58.9%, which is 15.4 points above the state.

Some context is worth keeping in mind. Dover-Eyota's free/reduced lunch rate of 20.68% is the lowest in this comparison group, and at 237 students it is one of the smallest schools here — almost identical in size to Plainview-Elgin-Millville's 235. Its student-teacher ratio was 18.1 in 2024–2025, after 20.8 the prior year and 17.4 the year before that. Because the jump to 4 stars rests on a single year and enrollment is small enough for cohort swings to be sharp, science remains the clearest academic gap to watch.
