Summary:
Hendricks Elementary is the only elementary school in the Hendricks Public School District, serving grades PK–6 to 74 students at 200 E Lincoln St in Hendricks, Minnesota. Because it is the sole elementary school in the district, there is no in-district comparison to make — instead, the school stands out against district and state averages, and it has moved sharply upward in state rankings over the past three years.
The school's ranking trajectory is its most dramatic story: it rose from 257th of 881 schools (71st percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024, to 187th of 872 (79th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, and then to 9th of 869 (99th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025–2026. Its 2025–2026 test scores are strong across the board, with all-grade math at 77.1% proficient versus 44.9% statewide, reading at 71.4% versus 48.6%, and science at 50.0% versus 25.5%. Available grade-level results are even higher in places: 4th-grade math reached 91.7% and 5th-grade reading 84.6%. Math also improved year over year, from 59.46% to 77.1%, while reading rose from 64.86% to 71.4%.
Families should weigh a few caveats. With only 74 students, grade-level cohorts are tiny, so percentages can swing widely from year to year, and several values — including 2024–2025 science and all 3rd- and 6th-grade math and reading scores — are suppressed by the state to protect student privacy, meaning they are unknown rather than zero. About 40.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, so the results are not explained by uniformly low poverty, and the student-teacher ratio of 6.4 reflects a small-school setting with likely small classes. The district aggregate scores differ somewhat from the school's available grade-level figures, so school-to-district comparisons should be read with care.
