Summary:
The three schools in Henry School District 14-2 serve preschool through grade 12: Henry Elementary has 93 students, Henry Middle has 45, and Henry High School has 54. The clearest overall concern is that both schools with reported results fell below state proficiency in all-grade math in 2025–26: elementary scored 31% versus 44% statewide, and middle scored 26% versus 44%. ELA results were more mixed, but middle-school ELA was also far below the state. The most important finding is the substantial middle-school shortfall in both ELA and math.
Henry Elementary had the stronger all-grade results: 49% in ELA, essentially at the state’s 49%, and 31% in math, 13 percentage points below the state. Henry Middle recorded 24% in ELA, 26 points below the state, and 26% in math, 17 points below. Grade-level results reveal important exceptions: middle-school seventh-grade math reached 55%, 11 points above the state, while elementary fifth-grade math was 8%, 35 points below. Elementary fifth-grade science was also low at 15%, 26 points below the state.
Results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26 in both schools’ reported ELA and math measures: elementary ELA rose 14 percentage points and math 3; middle ELA rose 1 and math 13. Across the four school-subject results, the average gap from state rates narrowed by 8 points, though scores remained below the state on average. Fifth-grade science was a notable exception, falling 13 points. SchoolDigger ranks the district 117th of 126, in the 7th percentile, with 0 stars; its school rank history shows the middle school rising from the 5th to the 15th percentile, while the elementary school shifted from the 21st to the 23rd. Student-teacher ratios are 9.5 at elementary, 12.6 at middle, and 10.8 at high school; free/reduced lunch eligible rates in 2024–25 were 50%, 42%, and 39%, respectively. The high school’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 95%, but its proficiency results are suppressed; schools also serve different grade spans, so their all-grade scores are not direct same-grade comparisons.
