Summary:
ZIP code 56136 covers Hendricks, Minnesota, where three schools — one elementary and two high schools spanning grades PK through 12 — serve local students as part of the Hendricks Public School District. The area summary lists 1 elementary, 0 middle, 2 high, and 0 alternative schools, so there is no standalone middle school; middle grades are served within the elementary and high school settings. The district is ranked 111 of 458 in Minnesota, at the 76th percentile with 4 stars, and that same district-level rating appears for all three schools. The data covers 2025–2026 MCA test scores, 2024–2025 graduation and dropout rates, free/reduced lunch, student-teacher ratios, and rank history.
Hendricks Elementary is the clear standout, ranked 9 of 869 at the 99th percentile with 5 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 71st percentile two years earlier. Its all-grade MCA proficiency is far above district and state — Math 77.1, Reading 71.4, Science 50, compared with state scores of 44.9, 48.6, and 25.5 — and it has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 40.54%, with a student-teacher ratio of 6.4. Hendricks High School shows the opposite trend, falling from 80th percentile with 4 stars in 2021–2022 to 295 of 473 at the 38th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026. Its all-grade Math is 25 and Reading 32.3, both below district and state, while Science is 27.3, slightly above the state's 25.5.
Mnvss has all MCA test scores suppressed by the state, so its academics cannot be evaluated here. What is reported is concerning: a 44.4% graduation rate versus the district's 50.9% and the state's 84.9%, and a 24.4% dropout rate versus the state's 4.2%. Hendricks High School graduates 80.0% of students, only 4.9 points below state, yet its 20.0% dropout rate is nearly five times the state rate, and the district dropout rate is 23.6%. With enrollments of just 59 to 111 students, percentages can swing widely, and student-teacher ratios are low across all three schools, from 5.8 to 8.8.
