Summary:
ZIP code 55373 has a single high school: Rockford Secondary, serving grades 9–12 with 479 students enrolled in Rockford, Minnesota, as part of the Rockford Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, all comparisons below are between the school and its district, the state, or its own prior-year results.
Two areas stand out as strengths. Graduation and dropout outcomes are strong: a 90.9% graduation rate versus 84.9% statewide, and a 0.8% dropout rate versus 4.2% statewide. The school's ranking has also improved steadily, moving from 192nd of 480 schools in 2023–2024 to 136th of 473 in 2025–2026, with its percentile rising from 60 to 71 and its star rating from 3 to 4. Science is the standout academic subject, with 45.6% of students proficient in 2025–2026 compared with 29.7% in the district and 25.5% statewide—about 20 percentage points above the state—up from 30.3% the prior year. The district itself ranks 139 of 458, at the 70th percentile with 3 stars.
Math and reading are more mixed. All-grade math improved from 30.84% to 36.8% year over year but remains below the district's 38.6% and the state's 44.9%; the 11th-grade result, 36.8% versus 35.3% statewide, is slightly above the state. All-grade reading fell sharply, from 59.09% to 40.2%, though that comparison carries a caveat: the exam label changed from MCA-III to MCA-IV between years, and the 10th-grade reading result—40.2% versus 42.5% statewide—is much closer to the state. For context, 24.63% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch and the student-teacher ratio was 16.5; the data offers no state comparator for these, so treat them as descriptive only.
