Best Public Schools in Hanover, KS

Summary:

The city of Hanover, Kansas has two schools serving students from elementary through high school - Hanover Elementary and Hanover High. Based on the available data, Hanover Elementary appears to be the standout school in the area, significantly outperforming the Barnes school district and the state of Kansas on key academic metrics.

Hanover Elementary is ranked in the top third of Kansas elementary schools, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that exceed district and state averages. In contrast, Hanover High is ranked in the bottom 15% of Kansas high schools, with lower proficiency rates across all subject areas compared to the district and state. The elementary school also has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating a relatively more affluent student population, and spends more per student than the high school.

These findings suggest a significant performance gap between the two Hanover schools, with the elementary school being a standout academic performer and the high school struggling to keep pace. Further investigation into the factors contributing to this disparity, such as resource allocation, socioeconomic influences, and enrollment trends, could provide valuable insights for the district and help inform strategies to support the high school's improvement.
