Summary

Hutchinson Senior High is a public comprehensive high school serving grades 9–12 with 863 students in the Hutchinson Public School District in Hutchinson, Minnesota, making it the largest school in its nearby comparison set. Its most recent state rank is 79th out of 473 Minnesota high schools for 2025–2026 — the 83rd percentile, with 4 stars. That is the strongest rank in the available history and a sharp rebound from 2024–2025, when it placed 220th of 450 schools, or the 51st percentile.

Academically, science is the standout: 54.2% proficiency, far above the state's 25.5% and above Dassel-Cokato Senior High's 48.3%. Reading is solid at 52.0%, above the state's 48.6%. Math is the clearest weakness at 32.3%, below the state's 44.9% and well behind Dassel-Cokato Senior High's 62.2%. Even so, Hutchinson outranks Glencoe-Silver Lake Senior High overall — 83rd percentile versus 23rd — even though Glencoe-Silver Lake posts a higher graduation rate of 96.0%.

Completion outcomes are strong: a 90.8% graduation rate, above the state's 84.9%, and a 3.0% dropout rate, down sharply from 6.0% the prior year and 6.9% before that. The school also ranks well statewide for how effectively it serves specific student groups — 88th percentile for low-income students, 85th for special education students, and 86th for male students. About 27.11% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.2. Note that nearby same-address programs such as Crow River Area Learning Center and New Century Academy serve different populations and are not direct academic peers.
