Summary:
Henning Public School District in Minnesota serves about 381 students across just two schools: Henning Elementary for grades PK–6 with 210 students, and Henning Secondary for grades 7–12 with 171 students. There is no separate middle school, and grades 7–8 are housed in the secondary building. The district is ranked 177 of 458 in Minnesota, placing it at the 61st percentile with 3 stars.
Henning Elementary is the district's academic engine in Math and Reading. Its all-grade proficiency is 57.1% in both subjects, above the state's 44.9% in Math and 48.6% in Reading. Its 4th-grade Math result of 79.2% is the highest single proficiency figure in the dataset, and 3rd-grade Math reaches 71.9%. Henning Secondary shows a very different Math picture: all-grade proficiency is 26.1%, nearly 19 pp below the state, and 11th-grade Math is only 10.0% against the state's 35.3%. Reading is stronger in the secondary school — 7th grade 56.3% and 10th grade 52.0%, both above state — though 8th-grade Reading falls below state.
Science is a district-wide weak spot overall, but with exceptions: elementary Science is 19.4% and 8th-grade Science is only 9.1%, while secondary Science End of Course is 44.0% versus the state's 35.0%. Henning Secondary's graduation rate is 90.0%, above the state's 84.9%, but its dropout rate is 10.0% versus the state's 4.2%. Both schools have slipped from 4 stars to 3 stars since 2023–2024. Elementary serves a higher free/reduced lunch rate (50.48%) yet has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.4) than secondary (35.67% and 18.5). With small enrollment, percentages can be volatile, so single-year swings should be read with caution.
