Summary

Hanover Elementary serves 231 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Hanover, in the Barnes district. Its latest results show strong schoolwide performance in English language arts (ELA) and math, but science is the main concern: 40% of students were proficient, just 2 percentage points above Kansas and 2 points below the district.

Math and ELA are clear strengths compared with nearby schools and the state: Hanover had 67% proficiency in each, ranking first of five nearby schools with math results and second of five in ELA. Those scores were 26 points above the state in math and 21 points above it in ELA; they also exceeded the district by 6 and 5 points, respectively. Science is weaker by comparison: Hanover ranked fourth of five nearby schools, and its 40% proficiency was below the nearby-school average of 50%. Results vary sharply by grade, too: sixth-grade math reached 91%, compared with 63% at the next-highest nearby school reporting that grade, Washington Elementary. Fifth-grade science was only 20%, below both the state rate of 46% and the district’s 39%. Nearby comparisons use schools with reported scores; schools serve different grade spans.

Results have shifted over time: ELA stayed near 67% from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose 12 percentage points overall to 67% after a sharp dip, and science fell 24 points from its first reported result to 40%. SchoolDigger places Hanover at the 80th statewide percentile, up from the 66th three years earlier; it ranks third among five nearby schools with a reported rank and has a 4-star rating. Its statewide effectiveness measure for White students is at the 65th percentile, 15 points below the school’s overall percentile, though that subgroup measure has risen from 56. Hanover also has the highest nearby student-teacher ratio, at 25.7 compared with a nearby-school average of 12.3. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 15%, the lowest among nearby schools, whose rates range from 34% to 58%; these figures are context, not explanations for achievement. Reported chronic absenteeism was 0% in 2025–2026, compared with 17% in the district and 18% statewide.
