Summary

Kasson-Mantorville Middle School serves 685 students in grades 5–8 in Kasson, Minnesota, a small city just west of Rochester, and is part of the Kasson-Mantorville School District, which ranks 24 of 458 districts statewide (95th percentile, 5 stars). The school itself is still above average, but it has slipped from elite territory: in 2025–2026 it ranks 101 of 546 middle schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars), down from 26 of 529 (95th percentile, 5 stars) in 2022–2023.

Reading is the clear strength at 59.4% proficiency, 10.8 points above the state and slightly above its own district. Math is 46.7%, only 1.8 points above the state but 10.4 points below the district — the largest school-versus-district gap in any subject. Science is 26.0%, barely above the state and 6.0 points below the district. Among nearby schools, Byron Middle School is the local benchmark, outranking Kasson-Mantorville in all three subjects. Kasson-Mantorville sits in the next tier with Zumbrota-Mazeppa Middle School and Pine Island Middle, and ahead of Stewartville Middle, Triton Middle School, and the Rochester middle schools. Fifth grade is a bright spot, with reading at 71.3%, 16.8 points above the state. Sixth-grade math, at 38.7%, is the only grade-level result below the state (39.5%).

The clearest concern is the trend. Since 2022–2023, proficiency has fallen in every subject: science dropped from 60.54% to 26.0%, math from 61.27% to 46.7%, and reading from 67.11% to 59.4%. Every reported subgroup declined as well, with special education students ranking lowest at the 52nd percentile. About 21.75% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, moderate for the area. The student/teacher ratio has improved to 17.2 but remains higher than most nearby rural middle schools, including Zumbrota-Mazeppa (14.5), Pine Island (15.1), Triton (12.7), and Stewartville (16.0).
