Best Public Schools in Hansen, ID

Summary:

The city of Hansen, Idaho is home to two schools: Hansen Elementary School and Hansen Junior/Senior High School. While the high school performs better academically and has a higher statewide ranking, the elementary school faces challenges with lower proficiency rates, higher chronic absenteeism, and a more diverse, economically disadvantaged student population.

Hansen District elementary students lag behind their peers in math and English language arts, with proficiency rates trailing the district and state averages. In contrast, the high school exceeds the district and state in English language arts proficiency. The elementary school also grapples with a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2%, significantly higher than the 6.3% rate at the high school.

Demographic differences between the two schools are notable, with the elementary school serving a student population that is more racially diverse and has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the elementary school's higher per-student spending, the data suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the observed academic and attendance disparities between the two Hansen schools.
