Summary:
Zip code 42413 has one listed elementary school, Hanson Elementary, serving PK–5 and enrolling 532 students in Hopkins County. In 2025–2026, Hanson was above Kentucky’s proficiency figure in every reported grade and subject. Its strongest results were in grade 5 editing and mechanics (76%, versus 48% statewide) and mathematics across grades 3–5 (67% on average, versus 43% statewide). The most important takeaway is that Hanson outperformed the state across all 10 reported grade-and-subject results.
Because Hanson is the only school listed, there is no local school-to-school leader or trailer to compare. Within its results, editing and mechanics had the largest state advantage, at 28 percentage points, followed by mathematics at 24 points; science and writing were each 20 points above the state, and social studies was 19 points higher. Reading was the comparatively narrower strength, though still above the state in each tested grade, with an average advantage of 16 points. These comparisons show where Hanson stands out relative to Kentucky, but the available data cannot show how it compares with similar schools nearby.
Results changed in different directions across grades: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade 3 mathematics fell 19 percentage points and grade 3 reading fell 12, while grade 5 social studies rose 9 points and editing and mechanics rose 12. Grade 4 mathematics and reading increased 4 and 6 points, respectively; grade 5 mathematics and reading each rose 8 and 7 points.
