Hutchinson Public School District

Summary:

The Hutchinson Public School District in Minnesota operates 9 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Hutchinson Middle School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in the state, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2022-2023 and a 4-star rating in 2023-2024. Its students perform well above the district and state averages in both math and reading. Similarly, Hutchinson Park Elementary ranks in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools, with students excelling in both math and reading. Hutchinson Tiger Elementary stands out for its exceptional math performance, with 71.5% of students proficient or better in math, compared to 55.06% for the district and 45.21% for the state.

However, the district as a whole is performing below the state average, ranking 231 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The alternative schools, such as Crow River ALC and Hutchinson Transition Assistance Pg, have significantly lower test scores and higher free/reduced lunch rates compared to the other schools in the district, indicating a need for additional support and resources for these students. Additionally, there is a notable gap in performance between the middle school and high school levels, with Hutchinson Senior High lagging behind in both math and reading proficiency.
