Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66945


Summary:

The 66945 zip code area is home to two schools - Hanover Elementary and Hanover High, both part of the Barnes school district. While Hanover Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, the data reveals a significant gap in academic outcomes between the elementary and high school levels.

Hanover Elementary is the clear standout, ranking in the top third of Kansas elementary schools and boasting significantly higher proficiency rates than state and district averages across core subjects. In contrast, Hanover High lags behind, ranking in the bottom 15% of Kansas high schools. This performance gap is further highlighted by the school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to Hanover High's 1-star rating.

Factors such as lower free/reduced lunch rates and higher spending per student at Hanover Elementary may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes. However, the dramatic drop in enrollment from 212 students at the elementary level to just 62 students at the high school level is noteworthy and warrants further investigation. Additionally, the volatility in Hanover High's performance, with its ranking fluctuating significantly from year to year, is an area that could benefit from deeper analysis to understand the underlying factors and develop strategies for improvement.
