Summary:
The Henning Public School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Henning Elementary and Henning Secondary. While Henning Elementary is a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 40% of Minnesota elementary schools with strong academic performance, Henning Secondary faces some challenges, including lower math proficiency rates and a higher dropout rate compared to state averages.
Henning Elementary boasts impressive academic achievements, with math and reading proficiency rates significantly higher than district and state averages across all grade levels. Its 5th-grade students, in particular, demonstrate exceptional performance, with 78.57% proficient or better in reading and 64.29% in science. In contrast, Henning Secondary lags behind in math proficiency, especially in 7th and 8th grade, and has a lower 4-year graduation rate of 86.9% compared to the state average.
The data also reveals a potential imbalance in resource allocation, with Henning Elementary having a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 13.6 compared to 15.8 at Henning Secondary. Additionally, both schools have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity, which may be an area for the district to examine and address.
