Hanby Middle School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29% to 38.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Scenic Middle School (34.3%) and other Grants Pass and Medford area schools (also around 34.3%). Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 38.9% in ELA, 27.5% in Math, and 25.7% in Science, compared to the district's 42.5%, 28.7%, and 27.5%, respectively, and the state's 41.6%, 28.9%, and 27.2%.
Hanby Middle School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.49% to 74.67% over the past few years, significantly higher than the rates of nearby schools, which generally range from 64% to 76%. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated significantly, ranging from 19.7 to 39.4 over the past few years, higher than the ratios of most nearby schools, which generally range from 17 to 21 students per teacher. These factors suggest that the school may be serving a lower-income population and struggling to maintain consistent academic progress and improvement.
