Summary:
Hendricks Public School District is a small Minnesota district with three listed schools — one elementary and two high schools — and no middle or alternative schools reported. Hendricks Elementary serves grades PK–6, Hendricks High School serves grades 7–12, and Mnvss serves grades 5–12, so the grade spans overlap and the listed enrollment total of 244 is not a clean unique district count. Individual enrollments are 111 at Mnvss, 74 at Hendricks Elementary, and 59 at Hendricks High School. Student/teacher ratios are low across all three, ranging from 5.8 to 8.8. The district is ranked 111 of 458 in Minnesota, placing it in the 76th percentile with 4 stars.
Hendricks Elementary stands out as the strongest school in the district, ranking 9 of 869 statewide in 2025–2026 — 99th percentile with 5 stars — after ranking 257 of 881 in 2023–2024 and 187 of 872 in 2024–2025. Its proficiency is well above both district and state: 77.1% in math, 71.4% in reading, and 50.0% in science. Grade-level highlights include 91.7% in 4th grade math, 84.6% in 5th grade reading, and 76.9% in 5th grade math. Some grades are suppressed and should be treated as unknown rather than weak.
The two high schools present a different picture. Hendricks High School ranks 295 of 473 (38th percentile, 2 stars), down from 93 of 472 (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2021–2022, with 25.0% math and 32.3% reading proficiency and a 20.0% dropout rate. Mnvss has all 2025–2026 test scores suppressed, so its academics cannot be judged, but it reports the lowest graduation rate at 44.4% and the highest dropout rate at 24.4%. For comparison, the district dropout rate is 23.6% and the state's is 4.2%, while district graduation is 50.9% versus 84.9% statewide. With such small enrollments, a few students can shift percentages noticeably from year to year.
