Summary:
The Henrietta Independent School District (Isd) is served by a single high school, Henrietta High School, which educates 268 students in grades 9 through 12. This small, rural school offers a notably intimate learning environment with a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1 and a high per-student spending of $16,776, reflecting a resource-intensive model that supports strong student outcomes.
Henrietta High School stands out as a high-performing school in the humanities, significantly exceeding state averages in English I (63.24% vs. 55.43%), English II (68.66% vs. 59.88%), and especially U.S. History (82.81% vs. 70.17%). The school also boasts exceptional graduation and dropout rates, with 95.5% of students graduating and a perfect 0.0% dropout rate. However, the school faces challenges in STEM subjects, with Algebra I proficiency (46.55%) falling below the state average (54.03%) and Biology (66.67%) also trailing the state (70.51%). The school’s state ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 79th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 64th percentile in 2025-2026, driven largely by a decline in English I proficiency from 71.01% to 63.24% year-over-year.
For parents, the key takeaway is that Henrietta High School provides a small, supportive environment with clear strengths in English and history, alongside a near-perfect record for keeping students on track to graduate. The primary areas for attention are a need to bolster math and science performance and to reverse the recent drop in English I scores. The school’s low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student are significant advantages that likely contribute to its strong graduation rate and low dropout rate, making it a solid choice for families prioritizing personalized attention and humanities education.
