Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary is a public middle school located in Jennings, Missouri, serving grades 4-6 with a student population of 159. The school is part of the Jennings school district.

While Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary students consistently outperform the Jennings district average in mathematics, their proficiency rates are still well below the state average. The school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, sometimes exceeding the district average but still falling short of the state. Notably, Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary has an extremely high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 98.39% to 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Addressing the school's significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and academic performance that lags behind state averages, will require a multifaceted approach. While Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary generally performs better than other schools in the Jennings district, the broader regional and systemic issues faced by nearby schools in Hazelwood and St. Louis City suggest that the challenges at Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary may be part of a larger, complex problem that requires a collaborative, community-wide solution.
