Summary

Montevideo Middle is a grades 5–8 middle school in Montevideo, Minnesota, serving 393 students in the Montevideo Public School District. It currently ranks 307 of 546 Minnesota middle schools (44th percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026, while the district ranks 244 of 458 (47th percentile, 2 stars). The school's ranking has slid recently: it sat at the 72nd percentile with 4 stars in 2022–2023, and earlier reached 79th percentile in 2020–2021, so its current standing is well below its stronger years.

In 2025–2026, students scored 30.8% proficient in math, 44.8% in reading, and 20.4% in science — below Minnesota statewide averages in all three subjects. Math and science also trail the district's own averages, while reading is slightly above. Grade-level results vary: 5th-grade reading (56.3%) is above the state, but 6th-grade math (22.3%), 7th-grade reading (31.6%), and 8th-grade science (14.9%) are well below. Compared with the nearby Lac Qui Parle Valley Middle School, which serves 129 students in grades 5–6, Montevideo has a clear reading advantage and is roughly comparable in math and science, though the narrower grade range of the nearby school limits direct comparison.

Test scores have declined across all subjects. Math fell from 44.96% in 2022–2023 to 30.8% in 2025–2026 — a four-year slide; reading dropped from 55.27% to 44.8%; science plunged to 13.85% in 2024–2025 before rebounding to 20.4%. The school's effectiveness rankings for student groups are mixed: low-income students rank 53rd percentile (3 stars), above median, while special education students (48th percentile) and English Language Learners (36th percentile, up from 9th in 2023–2024) sit near or below median, and male students fell from 53rd to 30th percentile. These rankings describe how well the school serves each group rather than labeling students. Overall, reading is the relative bright spot, while math and science need the most attention.
