Summary

Triton High School is a public 9–12 school in Dodge Center, a small community in southeastern Minnesota, serving 283 students as part of the Triton School District. The school ranks 118th of 473 Minnesota high schools in 2025–26 (75th percentile, 4 stars), up from 2 stars in 2020–21, and its high school rank is stronger than the district’s overall 58th percentile. That steady improvement is a meaningful point for families considering the school.

Triton’s clearest strengths are graduation and dropout outcomes: a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–25, compared with state averages of 84.9% and 4.2%. Its student–teacher ratio of 12.6 is the lowest among comparable comprehensive high schools nearby, including Owatonna Senior High, Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High, Pine Island High School, Blooming Prairie High School, Byron Senior High School, Hayfield Secondary, and Kasson-Mantorville Senior High. High-school test scores beat state averages—11th-grade math 39.3% vs. 35.3%, 10th-grade reading 45.1% vs. 42.5%, and EOC science 42.2% vs. 35.0%—but trail top local schools such as Byron Senior High School, Kasson-Mantorville Senior High, and Blooming Prairie High School. Science is a relative bright spot, while recent math and reading scores have softened.

Subgroup results show both strengths and gaps: female students were at the 90th percentile in 2025–26, low-socioeconomic students were at the 94th/93rd percentile in 2024–25 and 2023–24 before dipping to 75th, and Hispanic students ranked in the 95th–97th percentile in recent years. Male students were at the 45th percentile in 2025–26, and special education students have historically ranked lower in available older data. Free/reduced lunch declined from 37.81% in 2022–23 to 32.51% in 2024–25, and the student–teacher ratio improved from 14.5 to 12.6. Nearby alternative settings like Zumbro Area Learning Center and Transition 2 Success are not directly comparable. Overall, Triton offers strong graduation outcomes, small classes, and above-state test scores, with room to grow against the highest-performing nearby schools.
