Summary

Hansen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 182 students in grades PK-6 in Hansen, Idaho. The school is part of the Hansen District, which is ranked 81 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past decade, Hansen Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 45th out of 335 Idaho elementary schools in 2007-2008 to 312th out of 354 in 2011-2012, with its current ranking at 266th out of 337 in 2024-2025.

Hansen Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 9.4% to 17.1% in recent years, higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by ISAT test scores, is generally below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math (32.5%), Science (34.8%), and English Language Arts (43.4%) are all lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.91% to 53.55% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to the nearby Twin Falls and Kimberly districts, Hansen Elementary generally underperforms on academic measures. For instance, Pinecrest Academy of Idaho, Morningside Elementary, and Pillar Falls Elementary all have significantly higher proficiency rates in Math, Science, and English Language Arts compared to Hansen Elementary. Despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Hansen Elementary, its academic performance lags behind the nearby schools, indicating that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be at play.
