Summary:

Hansen Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Hansen, Idaho, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 154 students. The school is part of the Jerome Joint District, which is ranked 31 out of 77 districts in Idaho and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past three school years, Hansen Junior/Senior High School has seen a decrease in the percentage of white students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students, in contrast with the surrounding schools that have a higher percentage of white students. The school has also experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 8th out of 160 Idaho high schools in 2012-2013 to 69th out of 159 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, while the nearby schools have maintained relatively stable rankings. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from a high of 93.1% in 2019-2020 to a low of 75.0% in the most recent 2022-2023 school year, which is notable compared to the more consistent graduation rates of the Filer District and Twin Falls District schools.

Hansen Junior/Senior High School's performance on the ISAT (Idaho Standards Achievement Test) has been mixed, with the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates consistently higher than the district and state averages, but its Math proficiency rates lower, ranging from 33.3% to 40.6% in recent years, compared to the district and state averages of around 41-42%. This uneven academic performance highlights an opportunity for targeted interventions and support in the area of mathematics, while the school's increasing percentage of Hispanic students suggests the need for culturally responsive and inclusive practices to meet the needs of this growing student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
