Summary:
The Hansen District in Idaho is home to two schools: Hansen Elementary School and Hansen Junior/Senior High School. While the high school performs better academically, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates exceeding district and state averages, the elementary school lags behind in both math and ELA proficiency. The elementary school also faces higher chronic absenteeism rates and serves a more racially diverse student population compared to the high school.
Academically, Hansen Elementary School has a relatively low statewide ranking and proficiency rates that trail the district and state averages. In contrast, Hansen Junior/Senior High School performs better, with a higher statewide ranking and ELA proficiency rates exceeding the district and state. The high school also maintains a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 6.3%, compared to the elementary school's 12.2%.
The Hansen District schools also differ in their student demographics, with the elementary school serving a higher percentage of minority students (40.33%) compared to the high school (30.52%). This suggests the need for tailored support and resources to address the unique needs of a more diverse student body. Additionally, the elementary school spends more per student than the high school, which could be an area for further investigation and potential optimization.
