Summary:
The city of Hanna, Wyoming is home to two schools: HEM Junior/Senior High School and Hanna Elementary, both part of the Carbon County School District #2. While the high school has consistently ranked in the top 30% of Wyoming high schools, the elementary school has struggled, ranking in the bottom 30% of the state in recent years.
HEM Junior/Senior High School stands out as the stronger performer, with higher test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the district and state averages. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.2, which may contribute to its academic success. Despite having a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (49.41%) than the elementary school, the high school still manages to outperform the district and state on many measures.
In contrast, Hanna Elementary has struggled academically, with test scores in English Language Arts and Math generally lower than the district and state averages. The school has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (63.16%) and spends less per student ($24,543) compared to the high school ($35,775 per student). These factors may be contributing to the elementary school's lower academic performance and declining statewide ranking over the past two years.
