Hannan Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Hannan Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Ashton, West Virginia, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Mason County Schools district, which is ranked 37 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hannan Junior/Senior High School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.45%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Saint Albans High School and Nitro High School, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, Hannan Junior/Senior High School consistently underperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with only 8.8% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 17.9% statewide and 11.3% in the district. The school has been ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in West Virginia, in stark contrast to nearby high-performing schools like Winfield High School and Hurricane High School.

The school's struggles extend to supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all of which consistently rank in the bottom tier of West Virginia high schools. Additionally, Hannan Junior/Senior High School had a high percentage of students (55.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2020-2021 school year, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance over the years, suggest that Hannan Junior/Senior High School and the Mason County Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
