The school is part of the Harvey 38 school district, which is ranked 90 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Bm Hanson Elementary School has shown mixed performance compared to the state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (44%) and Reading (35.5%) for all grades were slightly above the Harvey 38 district averages (42% and 36%, respectively) but below the state averages (41% and 40%, respectively). However, the school performed better in specific grade levels, such as 3rd grade Math (59% vs. 42% state) and 6th grade Math (59% vs. 48% state). Notably, Bm Hanson Elementary has shown strong performance for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 3rd out of 88 North Dakota elementary schools in this category in the 2022-2023 school year.

One area of concern for Bm Hanson Elementary is its chronic absenteeism rate, which has risen significantly from 7% in 2023-2024 to 20% in 2024-2025. This is notably higher than the 7.7% rate at the nearby Anamoose Elementary School. Additionally, Bm Hanson's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 33rd out of 194 schools in 2015-2016 to 138th out of 216 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting the need for a deeper analysis of the factors contributing to its performance changes. Overall, Bm Hanson Elementary School has shown a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, and comparing its performance to nearby schools like Fessenden-Bowdon Elementary School can provide valuable insights.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
