Summary

Triton Middle School is a public middle school located in Dodge Center, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 212 students. The school is part of the Triton School District, which is ranked 159 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Triton Middle School's academic performance has been mixed compared to the state and district averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math (42.86%) and Reading (39.11%) were lower than the state and district averages. However, the school has shown some strengths in specific student subgroups, such as the Hispanic student subgroup, which ranked 45th out of 175 Minnesota middle schools in Math with a 4-star rating. The school's performance for different student subgroups has been inconsistent, with female students consistently ranking in the top 40% of Minnesota middle schools, while male students have ranked in the bottom 40% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Triton Middle School's performance is generally lower than some high-performing schools like Byron Middle School and Kasson-Mantorville Middle School. However, Triton Middle School outperforms some other nearby schools, such as John Adams Middle and Dakota Middle School, in certain areas like the Hispanic student subgroup performance. Addressing the inconsistencies in academic achievement and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students could be key focus areas for the school's continuous improvement efforts.
