Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary

Summary:

Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary is a public middle school located in Jennings, Missouri, serving grades 4-6 with a student population of 183. The school has a predominantly African American student body, with over 98% of students identifying as such in the 2022-2023 school year.

Despite the school's high spending per student, ranging from $8,975 to $10,230 over the past three school years, the academic performance of Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary is a significant concern. The school's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are consistently lower than the Jennings district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 3.9% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 4.6% in Jennings and 43.8% statewide. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has increased from 17.5 in 2020-2021 to 25.2 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools like East Middle, Yeatman-Liddell Middle School, and Hawthorn Middle.

The high poverty levels at Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. When compared to nearby schools in Hazelwood, St. Louis City, Hawthorn Leadership School Girls, Ritenour, Ferguson-Florissant R-II, Riverview Gardens, and Jennings, Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests, with lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
