Schools in Zip Code 56044

ZIP code 56044 in Henderson, Minnesota contains four schools serving roughly 333 students: one elementary campus (K–6) and three schools labeled as high schools, two of which actually span grades 7–12. They belong to three districts — Minnesota New Country School, Edvisions Off Campus School, and Le Sueur-Henderson School District — which represent opposite ends of the state's performance spectrum within a single ZIP code.

Edvisions Off Campus School posts the strongest reported proficiency here — 60% reading, above the state's 48.6% — yet it also has the lowest graduation rate (70%) and highest dropout rate (10%). Hilltop ALP, with just 18 students and sitting in the top-quartile Le Sueur-Henderson School District, reports 100% graduation and 0% dropout, though all of its test scores are suppressed. Minnesota New Country Elementary is the improving campus, moving from the 12th to 23rd percentile, with math (29.4%) and reading (42%) above its own district averages. Minnesota New Country School (7–12), the largest at 136 students, trails well below state in math (13.8%) and reading (22.7%), but its End-of-Course science (38.1%) beats the state's 35%.

Compare these schools cautiously. Most science scores, all of Hilltop ALP's test results, and the elementary's 5th-grade scores are suppressed, meaning unknown rather than zero. Reading was also labeled differently between years, so year-over-year reading comparisons are unreliable, and with enrollments of 18 to 136, a handful of students can swing rankings sharply. Every school here that reports both subjects is stronger in reading than in math, mirroring the state pattern but more pronounced locally.
