Kline Whitis Elementary has consistently been the higher-performing school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 80th percentile statewide for the 2024-2025 school year. It outperformed Hanna Springs in every subject and grade level tested, with a particularly strong showing in 5th Grade Science, where 39.13% of students were proficient—well above the state average of 29.57%. Kline Whitis also benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio (12.9:1) and higher per-student spending ($11,478). In contrast, Hanna Springs Elementary, which is the larger school with 685 students, has received a 3-star rating and ranked in the 51st percentile. However, Hanna Springs is on a strong upward trajectory, with its projected 2025-2026 ranking jumping to the 66th percentile, essentially tying with Kline Whitis’s projected 65th percentile. This improvement is driven by strong projected test scores, such as 52.48% proficiency in 3rd Grade Math, compared to Kline Whitis’s 46.97%.
Both schools share a common challenge in Mathematics, as neither achieved 50% proficiency in 3rd or 4th Grade Math during the 2024-2025 school year. The most significant difference between the two campuses is in 5th Grade Science, where Kline Whitis excels and Hanna Springs lags significantly, suggesting a disparity in science curriculum or resources. Overall, while Kline Whitis has been the standout school in recent years, Hanna Springs is rapidly closing the gap, making both schools competitive options for families in the area.
