Summary:
ZIP code 56044 covers Henderson, Minnesota and contains three high schools — Minnesota New Country School (136 students, grades 7–12), Edvisions Off Campus School (98 students, grades 7–12), and Hilltop ALP (18 students, grades 9–12). Enrollment is uneven: Minnesota New Country holds about 54% of the students in this ZIP, Edvisions about 39%, and Hilltop ALP about 7%. Minnesota New Country and Edvisions each operate under their own district names, while Hilltop ALP is part of the Le Sueur-Henderson School District. All test figures here are percent proficient; suppressed values are unknown, not zero.
Edvisions is the reading standout, exceeding the state in both reported years: 60% vs. 48.6% in 2025–2026, and 58.82% vs. 49.59% in 2024–2025. Math, though, stayed below the state (30% vs. 44.9%, and 18.18% vs. 45.21%), and its 10% dropout rate is the highest of the three, more than double the state's 4.2%. Minnesota New Country has the largest enrollment and the lowest student-teacher ratio (8.2), but trails the state in all three subjects in 2025–2026 — math 13.8%, reading 22.7%, science 20.5% — and its district ranks 370 of 458 with 1 star. Its End of Course Science score of 38.1% is above the state's 35.0%.
Hilltop ALP has the strongest outcome profile — 100% graduation and 0% dropout in 2024–2025 — within the highest-ranked district in this group, Le Sueur-Henderson School District (52 of 458, 4 stars), while 77.78% of its students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Its own test scores are suppressed, and with only 18 students those rates can shift on a single student. Grade-level gaps at Minnesota New Country are severe: 8th-grade math 5.3% vs. state 42.3%, 8th-grade science 0% vs. 16.7%, and 10th-grade reading 9.1% vs. 42.5%. Suppressed data and small cohorts mean no single school here gives a complete academic picture.
