Summary

Randolph Secondary is a grade 7–12 public school in rural Randolph, MN, serving about 430 students as part of the Randolph Public School District. In 2025–2026, it ranked 420th of 473 Minnesota schools (11th percentile, 1 star), down from the 51st percentile in 2015–2016 and a brief 36th percentile in 2022–2023. The district ranked 387th of 458 districts. The school reports a 98.5% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout rate, 17.21% free/reduced lunch, and a 17.8 student–teacher ratio.

Academically, proficiency is dramatically lower than nearby schools and the state. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 13.8% in math, 11.2% in reading, and 5.4% in science, versus state rates of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. By comparison, Northfield Senior High had 52.8% math, 59.3% reading, and 46.2% science; Cannon Falls Secondary had 47.8% math, 52.5% reading, and 28.9% science; Farmington High School had 40% math, 41% reading, and 43.6% science; and Lakeville South High had 43.5% math, 45.9% reading, and 28% science. Science is the weakest area: all-grade science was 5.4%, 8th-grade science was 0%, and End-of-Course science was 10.7% versus 35% statewide. Reading fell from 29.83% in 2022–2023 to 11.2% in 2025–2026, while math has stayed low.

The school’s strongest results are in completion: its 98.5% graduation rate is the highest and its 0.0% dropout rate is tied for the lowest among the listed nearby schools, and both are consistently better than the state. Its 17.21% free/reduced lunch rate is the lowest among those nearby schools, so the low test scores are not explained by higher poverty relative to its neighbors. The student–teacher ratio is 17.8, improved from 20.2 in 2022–2023 and lower than Lakeville South High, Farmington High School, and Northfield Senior High. Small grade cohorts can add volatility, but low performance appears across grades, subjects, and years. One past bright spot: low-income students ranked at the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2022–2023, far above the school overall that year, but it is only one year and not a current strength. Nearby high performers such as Northfield Senior High and Cannon Falls Secondary show what is possible in the region.
