Summary:
Zip code 02341 covers Hanson, Massachusetts, and its public school list contains just two schools — Indian Head (elementary, grades K–4, 494 students) and Hanson Middle School (middle, grades 5–8, 442 students), both in the Whitman-Hanson district, for a combined K–8 enrollment of 936; no high school appears in this list.
Indian Head is the stronger performer. In 2025–2026 it reached 50.46% proficient in ELA and 52.05% in Mathematics, well above the district (36.86% and 36.51%) and the state (40.03% and 41.11%). Its best single result is 4th-grade Mathematics at 57.26%, 14.06 points above state. The school also climbed in the rankings, from the 56th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 68th percentile (286 of 899) in 2025–2026 — a 12-point gain — while improving slightly in both ELA (+1.21 points) and Mathematics (+1.30 points).
Hanson Middle School shows a different picture. All-grade ELA is 34.77% and Mathematics 31.97%, both below district and state, with Mathematics 9.14 points under state; ELA fell 8.25 points year over year. Science is a bright spot at 43.00%, above district and state, and 8th grade is relatively strong. Sixth grade is the weakest area (ELA 26.67%, Mathematics 28.57%), and the school's rank slipped from the 60th percentile to the 52nd (231 of 478). Notably, Hanson Middle School has the smaller student-teacher ratio (13.2 vs 15.4) and slightly higher per-student spending ($15,574 vs $15,290, though from 2020–2021), so resources alone do not explain the difference. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools, and the district overall is rated 39th percentile with 2 stars.
