Summary:
ZIP code 55969 is home to a single public school, Rollingstone Community School, an elementary school in Rollingstone, MN serving grades K–5 with 59 students enrolled; the ZIP has no middle, high, or alternative schools, so families here likely send students elsewhere for grades 6–12. The school operates as its own single-school district, Rollingstone Community School, which means school and district figures are identical and not independent of each other.
On 2025–2026 MCA tests, the school sits close to the state average overall: 44.1% proficient in math versus 44.9% statewide, and 47.1% in reading versus 48.6% statewide. Results vary sharply by grade. Third grade is the standout, with 80% proficient in reading against a state average of 46.8%, and 70% in math versus 57.9% statewide. Fourth grade lags well behind: 38.1% in math compared with 55.2% statewide, and 33.3% in reading compared with 48.8%. Fifth-grade math, reading, and science, along with all-grade science, are suppressed by the state to protect student privacy, so those results are unknown rather than zero and cannot be judged either way. Compared with 2024–2025, when math and reading were each 20% proficient, all-grade proficiency improved substantially.
Two context points help interpret these numbers. First, with only 59 students, each student represents a large percentage swing, and grade cohorts change from year to year, so year-to-year jumps and grade-level gaps can be volatile rather than signs of a lasting trend. Second, the school reports a 44.07% free/reduced lunch rate and an 11.3 student-teacher ratio for 2024–2025, suggesting small classes that can support individual attention. Rankings remain modest — 289 of 458 on district rank and 511 of 869 on rank history, both 2 stars — which may reflect different years or methods than the near-state 2025–2026 test scores.
