Summary

Stewartville Senior High is a public 9–12 school in Stewartville, MN, with 608 students, part of the Stewartville Public School District, located near Rochester. It ranks 168th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–2026 (64th percentile, 3 stars), above the state median but down from 90th percentile in 2015–2016. Completion outcomes are a strength: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 92.9% and dropout rate 3.1%, both better than state averages.

Academically, science is the standout. Stewartville’s 38.6% science proficiency is above the state’s 25.5% and its district’s 28.4%, and higher than Mayo High School (33.7%), Grand Meadow Senior High (23.3%), and Rochester Math & Science Secondary (0%). Math is the main weakness: 28% proficient versus 44.9% statewide and 47.1% in the district, below Mayo High School (48.2%) and Rochester Math & Science Secondary (48.5%), though above Grand Meadow Senior High (13.9%), MNSync Online Secondary (10.3%), and Rochester Alternative Learning Center (0%). Reading is mixed at 47.1%, just below the state’s 48.6% and below Mayo High School (52.1%) and Grand Meadow Senior High (53.3%), but above Rochester Math & Science Secondary (43.5%), MNSync Online Secondary (22.6%), and Rochester Alternative Learning Center (8.6%). The student-teacher ratio is 16.8, typical for the area.

Subgroup effectiveness shows gaps: Special Education students ranked 24th percentile and Low Socio Economic Status students 38th percentile in 2025–2026, both below the school’s overall 64th percentile, and these have been persistently low. Compared with Mayo High School, Stewartville is smaller, has a lower overall rank, lower math and reading, but higher science, a slightly higher graduation rate, and a much lower free/reduced lunch rate (18.09% vs. 27.87%). It clearly outperforms MNSync Online Secondary and Rochester Alternative Learning Center in every available academic and completion metric, though those are alternative or online settings serving different populations. Overall, Stewartville is a mid-to-upper-mid comprehensive high school whose strengths are science, graduation, and dropout rates, while math and subgroup effectiveness are the main areas to watch.
