Summary:
The city of Hinckley, Minnesota is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, all part of the Hinckley-Finlayson School District. While the district is ranked 354 out of 463 in the state, the schools in Hinckley do not stand out as clear performers, with consistently low rankings and test scores compared to state averages.
Hinckley Elementary and the two high schools, Hinckley-Finlayson Secondary and Empower Learning Center, all have below-average performance on standardized tests and low graduation rates. The only school that stands out slightly is the Pine County Transition Program, which has a very small student population and low student-teacher ratio, but lacks sufficient data to fully evaluate.
Across the schools, there are high percentages of Native American and low-income students, demographics that often face additional educational barriers. The district will need to implement targeted support and interventions to help these students succeed. Overall, the data suggests systemic issues within the Hinckley-Finlayson School District that need to be addressed in order to provide quality education and equitable opportunities for all learners in Hinckley.
