Summary

Randolph Secondary is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Randolph, Minnesota, with 409 students. The school is part of the Randolph Public School District, which is ranked 359 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Randolph Secondary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Minnesota high schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 383 out of 450 schools.

Randolph Secondary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates well below the state average on MCA-III tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.11% of 11th graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 34.96%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84-89% is also slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4-4.5% is higher than the norm. Additionally, Randolph Secondary serves a relatively low-income student population, with 17-20% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.

While some nearby schools, such as Arcadia Charter School and Northfield Senior High, are among the top-ranked schools in the state, other nearby schools, like Lakeville Pathways Academy and Farmington High School, are also lower-performing. Randolph Secondary's declining statewide ranking over the past decade suggests the school may be facing increasing challenges in maintaining academic standards and student outcomes.
