Summary

Randolph Elementary is a PK–6 school with 445 students in Randolph, MN, part of the small, rural Randolph Public School District.

In 2025–26, Randolph Elementary ranked 528th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools — 39th percentile, 2 stars — placing it in the bottom third statewide and 7th of 10 in its local comparison group. The school is the strongest-performing part of its district: it beats district averages by 11.8 points in math (42.2% vs. 30.4%) and 14.4 points in reading (45.6% vs. 31.2%). Its math and reading are close to state averages (44.9% and 48.6%), but science is a clear weakness: 14.8% vs. the state’s 25.5%, with only Akin Road Elementary lower among nearby schools. Nearby schools in the Northfield Public School District and Great Oaks Academy - Grammar show much higher results, and Cannon Falls Elementary — similar in size and distance, with higher poverty — has been climbing while the school has slipped from 3 stars to a 2-star plateau.

Inside the building, math declines sharply by grade: third grade 67.8%, fourth 39.2%, fifth 34.4%, and sixth 28.8% — a 39-point spread. Third-grade math is above the state, but sixth-grade math is 10.7 points below it. Reading is much steadier, holding between 43.3% and 47.1% across those same grades. Science has been volatile and generally below state, ranging from 8.2% to 36.9% over recent years. Although the school’s free/reduced lunch rate is low for the area (17.75%), its outcomes are mid-pack, suggesting school-level factors matter. Strengths to protect include stable reading, a low-income subgroup that has earned 3 stars three years running, and an improved student-teacher ratio of 13.5.
