Summary:
The two elementary schools in Rosholt School District 54-4 serve pre-K through grade 8: Rosholt Elementary - 02 serves pre-K–5 and has 97 students, while White Rock Colony Elementary - 03 serves K–8 and has 22. The clearest academic pattern is that Rosholt’s reported math results are stronger than its reading results: its 2025–2026 all-grades math proficiency was 55%, above the state’s 44%, while its ELA proficiency was 43%, below the state’s 49%.
Rosholt stands out for reported achievement, particularly in math, while White Rock had the lower all-grades ELA result. In 2025–2026, Rosholt’s ELA proficiency was 43%, compared with White Rock’s 14%, a 28-point difference; both were below the state, by 7 and 35 points, respectively. Rosholt was above the state in math in grades 3, 4, and 5, by 2, 16, and 4 points, but below the state in ELA in each of those grades by about 5 points. SchoolDigger lists Rosholt at rank 125 of 203, the 38th percentile and 2 stars, in 2025–2026; White Rock’s available 2024–2025 listing is rank 257 of 300, the 14th percentile and 1 star.
Reported ELA results fell at both schools between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026: by 4 points at Rosholt and 7 at White Rock. Rosholt’s math result slipped by 1 point, from 56% to 55%, but remained above the state; its grade 5 science result fell 26 points, from 65% to 38%. In 2024–2025, student–teacher ratios were similar—11.8 at Rosholt and 11.0 at White Rock—while free/reduced lunch eligibility differed: 35% at Rosholt and 86% at White Rock. These are contextual differences, not explanations for achievement. Because the schools serve different grade spans and their available SchoolDigger rankings are from different years, the all-grades results and rankings are not fully like-for-like comparisons.
