Science is the relative weak spot at 27.1%, against the district's 27.8% and the state's 25.5%, though it rose 6.51 points from 2024–2025 and all three subjects improved year over year.
Royalton Public Schools Early Child stands out structurally rather than academically: at 22 students it has a student-teacher ratio of 5.5 versus 14.5 at Royalton Elementary, and it has no test-score or rank history because it serves PK–K. Its free/reduced lunch rate of 31.82% is close to Royalton Elementary's 30.48%. The district overall ranks 150 of 458, the 67th percentile with 3 stars, which places Royalton Elementary above its district. For parents, the practical picture is straightforward: the test-score story in 56373 is Royalton Elementary's strong Math and Reading, its improving rank, and Science as the area to watch.
