Summary:
ZIP code 56551 is home to a single high school: Henning Secondary, a rural 7–12 school of 171 students in Henning, Minnesota, and the only secondary building in the Henning Public School District. With six grade levels and roughly 28–29 students per grade, each cohort is about the size of one classroom, so percentages are best read as directional signals rather than precise measurements. The school reports a 35.67% free/reduced-lunch rate and an 18.5 student-teacher ratio.
The strongest parts of the school's profile are graduation and reading. Its 90.0% graduation rate is 5.1 points above Minnesota's 84.9%, and reading proficiency overall (48.6%) exactly matches the state. Reading stands out in specific grades: 7th grade is 12.8 points above state and 10th grade is 9.5 points above. End-of-Course science is another bright spot at 44% proficient versus 35% statewide, and All Grades science climbed from 16.67% to 24.1% in a year — the largest single-subject improvement on record. The school holds a 3-star state rating, ranking 187th of 473 high schools (60th percentile).
Mathematics is the clear weak point. All Grades math sits at 26.1% proficient, about 19 points behind both the state (44.9%) and its own district (45.7%). The sharpest signal is 11th-grade math at 10% versus 35.3% statewide, and 8th grade is the only cohort below state in all three subjects — math (30.3% vs. 42.3%), reading (42.4% vs. 50%), and science (9.1% vs. 16.7%). The dropout rate of 10.0% is more than double the state's 4.2%. Ranking has swung from 4 stars (75th percentile) two years ago to 3 stars today, a partial recovery that has not yet returned to its earlier high.
