Summary:

Henderson, Minnesota has four schools in this data set — one elementary school serving grades K–6 and three high schools serving grades 7–12 or 9–12, with no middle schools — together enrolling 333 students, about 76% of them in high school. Because there is no middle school, grades 7–8 are housed inside the two 7–12 high schools. The district contexts differ sharply: Le Sueur-Henderson School District ranks 52 of 458 in the state (89th percentile, 4 stars), while the Minnesota New Country School district ranks 370 of 458 (19th percentile, 1 star).

Hilltop ALP has the strongest outcome measures, with a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, both far better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. But it enrolls only 18 students, so one student can swing those rates by several percentage points, and all of its test scores are suppressed. It also has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate, 77.78%. Edvisions Off Campus School stands out for reading — 60% in 2025-26 versus the state's 48.6% — and has the lowest free/reduced-lunch rate at 9.18%, though its graduation rate is 70.0% and its dropout rate is 10.0%.

Math is a citywide weakness: no school with reported data reached the state's math average in either year. Science is a relative bright spot for the Minnesota New Country schools, with Minnesota New Country School's End-of-Course Science at 38.1% (above the state's 35%) and Minnesota New Country Elementary's 2024-25 science at 33.33% (above the state's 26.15%). Suppressed figures should be read as unknown, not as zero — Hilltop's test scores and Edvisions' science scores are unavailable, limiting citywide comparison.
