Summary:
ZIP code 56373 covers Royalton, Minnesota, and is home to four schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — all part of the Royalton Public School District, which enrolls 938 students and ranks 150th of 458 Minnesota districts (67th percentile, 3 stars).
Royalton Elementary is the largest school at 420 students and the clear academic standout, ranking 197th of 869 schools (77th percentile, 4 stars) and improving for three straight years. Its math proficiency is 64.6% and reading 61.7%, both well above district and state averages. Royalton High School (293 students) is more mixed: a 97.4% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate far exceed the state's 84.9% and 4.2%, and its science score of 37.7% beats the state's 25.5%, but math is 30% against the state's 44.9%. Royalton Middle School (203 students) is the main concern, ranking 313th of 546 (43rd percentile, 2 stars) and falling from the 67th percentile three years ago; it trails the district and state in math (26.6%), reading (42.3%), and science (16.1%). Royalton Public Schools Early Child serves just 22 PK–K students with a notably low student/teacher ratio of 5.5 and no test or rank data.
Comparing the schools, math is the sharpest divide: elementary math is far above state while middle and high school math fall well below it. Reading is strong at the elementary and high school but weakest at the middle school. Science is uneven, with the high school well above state, the elementary modestly above, and the middle school below. The middle school's weakest spots are 6th grade math and reading, though 8th grade reading (60.3%) is a genuine strength. Overall, the district's respectable 67th-percentile rank masks a wide gap between its highest- and lowest-performing schools.
