Hanover High

Summary:

Hanover High is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Hanover, Kansas, which is part of the Barnes school district. With just 62 students, Hanover High has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating, ranging from 1st to 268th out of Kansas high schools and from 5 stars to 1 star on the SchoolDigger scale.

While Hanover High's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, the school's academic performance has been quite volatile, with differences in the achievement of student subgroups and test scores that are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 25% of Hanover High students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33.55% statewide and 48.93% in the Barnes district. This underperformance suggests that the school may be struggling to prepare students for academic success.

Compared to nearby schools, Linn High, another school in the Barnes district, has generally higher test scores and statewide rankings than Hanover High. Additionally, Valley Heights Junior/Senior High, located in the Valley Heights district, has a larger student population and higher district ranking, with test scores that are also generally higher than Hanover High's, particularly in Mathematics and Science. These comparisons highlight the potential for Hanover High to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
