High Schools in Barnes

The Barnes area of Kansas is home to two high schools: Hanover High and Linn High. While both schools are performing reasonably well compared to the state average, there are some notable differences in their academic performance and rankings.

Hanover High appears to be the stronger-performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, more consistent 4-star ratings from School Digger, and generally better test scores in KAP/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Linn High has a lower statewide ranking and more fluctuating School Digger ratings, with some areas of academic performance exceeding the district and state averages, and others where it underperforms.

While Linn High spends slightly more per student than Hanover High, this higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Additionally, the data suggests a potential correlation between higher free and reduced lunch rates and lower test scores, as Linn High has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients and generally lower test scores compared to Hanover High.
