Summary

Hanover High is a small school in Hanover, Kansas, serving 60 students in grades 9–12 in the Barnes district. Its latest test results are especially strong in math, and SchoolDigger ranks it near the top of the state. But the clearest concern for families is chronic absenteeism: 38% of students were chronically absent in 2025–26, up from 12% the year before and 21 points above the state rate.

Math is the school’s standout strength, while science is its weakest result relative to the state and district. In 2025–26, 84% of students were proficient in math—43 points above the state and 23 points above the district—and this was the highest score among nearby schools. The next-highest nearby result was 56% at Valley Heights Junior/Senior High. Hanover’s 68% ELA proficiency was also the highest nearby, just ahead of Linn High at 67%; it was 22 points above the state and 6 points above the district. Science proficiency was 40%, just 2 points above the state but 2 points below the district. Valley Heights Junior/Senior High led nearby schools in science at 44%.

Results have rebounded sharply, but they have not risen steadily: math proficiency moved from 29% in 2022–23 to 6% in 2023–24, then to 64% and 84%; ELA followed a similarly uneven path, from 43% to 25%, then 55% and 68%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking climbed from the 16th percentile in 2023–24 to the 93rd in 2024–25 and 94th in 2025–26, earning five stars and a rank of 22 out of 340. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.0 and a 15% free/reduced-lunch rate, the lowest among nearby schools; these are context, not explanations for its results. One notable subgroup change: SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves White students rose from the 7th percentile in 2023–24 to the 91st in the next year and remained there in 2025–26.
