Summary:
The 83334 zip code area is home to two schools - Hansen Elementary School and Hansen Junior/Senior High School. While the junior/senior high school performs better academically, both schools face challenges in meeting state and district averages for proficiency in math and English language arts. The elementary school, in particular, struggles with a higher chronic absenteeism rate and serves a student population with a significant proportion of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students.
Academically, the Hansen Junior/Senior High School stands out, with English language arts proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, the Hansen Elementary School has a relatively low statewide ranking and proficiency rates that trail the district and state. Attendance is also a concern, with the elementary school reporting a chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2%, significantly higher than the 6.3% rate at the junior/senior high school.
Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic representation ranging from 27.27% at the junior/senior high school to 35.36% at the elementary school. Additionally, a large proportion of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower-income student population. The funding allocation, with the elementary school spending more per student than the junior/senior high school, suggests a potential imbalance that may require further examination to ensure resources are effectively supporting student success across the Hansen District.
