Summary:
ZIP code 56369 is served by one elementary school — John Clark Elementary in Rockville, Minnesota, a kindergarten through 5th grade school with 129 students in the Rocori Public School District. About 24% of its students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, and the student–teacher ratio was 13.5. The school has been climbing in statewide rankings, moving from 478th of 881 Minnesota elementary schools in 2023–24 (46th percentile, 2 stars) to 320th of 869 in 2025–26 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) — an improvement of 158 positions in two years. Its district ranks 165th of 458 statewide, in the 64th percentile.
Math is this school's clearest strength. In 2025–26, 62% of students were proficient in Math, compared with 48.8% in the district and 44.9% statewide — roughly 13 points above the district and 17 points above the state. Science was also above both benchmarks at 30.4%, versus 24.7% district and 25.5% state. Reading is more mixed: at 46.5%, the school sits essentially even with its district (46.6%) but about 2 points below the state (48.6%).
Reading results vary sharply by grade. Fifth-grade Reading reached 65.2%, well above the district's 50.6% and the state's 54.5%, while 4th-grade Reading fell to 30.4%, about 16 points below the district and 18 points below the state. That contrast suggests a grade-specific issue rather than a schoolwide Reading weakness. With only 129 students in the building, each grade has roughly 20–25 children, so a one- or two-student difference can shift a grade-level percentage by several points — worth keeping in mind, and worth discussing with the school, before drawing firm conclusions from any single year.
