Summary:
Schools in Hendricks, Minnesota consist of three schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12, all within the Hendricks Public School District: Mnvss (grades 5–12, 111 students), Hendricks Elementary (PK–6, 74 students), and Hendricks High School (grades 7–12, 59 students). The area summary reports one elementary and two high schools, and the district is ranked 111 of 458 in Minnesota — the 76th percentile, with 4 stars. Grade spans overlap, so the combined enrollment of 244 is not a unique-student count. A value of — means the state suppressed that figure to protect student privacy; it is unknown, not zero.
Hendricks Elementary is the standout: ranked 9 of 869 schools for 2025–2026 (99th percentile, 5 stars), up from 187 of 872 the prior year. Its all-grade proficiency is well above both district and state — Math 77.1%, Reading 71.4%, Science 50.0% — with 4th grade Math at 91.7% and 5th grade Reading at 84.6%. By contrast, Hendricks High School ranks 295 of 473 (38th percentile, 2 stars), with Math 25.0%, Reading 32.3%, and Science 27.3%, below the district in every subject. It did improve over 2024–2025, when Math was 18.52% and Science 8.33%.
Completion is the biggest concern. The district graduates 50.9% of students versus 84.9% statewide, with a 23.6% dropout rate versus 4.2% statewide. Mnvss has the lowest graduation rate at 44.4% and the highest dropout rate at 24.4%, and all of its school-level test scores are suppressed, so its academic performance cannot be judged here. Hendricks High School graduates 80.0% but still has a 20.0% dropout rate. Free/reduced lunch rates (40.54%–48.65%) and low student-teacher ratios (5.8–8.8) do not simply explain the differences, and with such small enrollments, year-to-year swings and suppressed figures are expected.
