Summary

Le Sueur-Henderson Elementary is a PK–5 school in the small town of Le Sueur, Minnesota (population roughly 4,000), serving about 390 students as the elementary feeder for the Le Sueur-Henderson School District.

For 2025-2026, the school ranks 408th of 869 Minnesota elementary schools (53rd percentile, 3 stars), while its district ranks 52nd of 458 (89th percentile, 4 stars). Test scores echo that gap: 50.0% of students met standards in math, 49.5% in reading, and 26.5% in science — above state averages in all three subjects, but below the district in all three, with reading the widest gap. Performance varies widely by grade: 5th grade reading (62%) and 3rd grade math (59.7%) are strengths, while 4th grade math (44.4%) runs 10.8 points below the state and 3rd grade reading (40.3%) also lags. About 44.87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — the highest rate among nearby comparison schools — yet students from low-income families rank in the 82nd percentile statewide with 4 stars for three consecutive years. Students receiving special education services are the clear exception, ranking between the 18th and 32nd percentile with no improvement over three years. The student-teacher ratio is 10.5 to 1, the smallest in the comparison group.

Among nearby schools, Le Sueur-Henderson lands upper-middle: 4th of 8 in math, 5th of 8 in reading, and 2nd of 8 in science. North Elementary School in St. Peter posts the strongest local results (71.8% math, 58.5% reading) but serves only grades 2–4. Raven Stream Elementary has less than half the poverty rate yet nearly identical reading results, and trails Le Sueur-Henderson in science, 26.5% to 19.2%. Cleveland Elementary, the closest structural twin at 390 students, posts stronger reading (59.4%) with about half the poverty. Math has slipped from 60.4% in 2023-24 to 50.0% in 2025-26, leaving the school near the 50th percentile after a 67th-percentile year.
