Summary:
The city of Hansen, Idaho is home to a single high school, Hansen Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 56th out of 106 Idaho high schools in 2022-2023 to 83rd out of 112 in 2024-2025. While the school performs above the state average in English Language Arts, it lags behind in Math and Science on the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT).
Hansen Junior/Senior High School has a relatively small student population of 133 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.6, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 82.3%, slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 15.0%, higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $11,465, slightly higher than the state average, and its free and reduced-price lunch rate is 33.83%, indicating a significant proportion of students from low-income families.
The declining performance and mixed academic results of Hansen Junior/Senior High School suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its Math and Science instruction, as well as addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate. Targeted interventions and resources to support students from low-income families could also be beneficial in improving the overall performance of the school within the Hansen District.
