Hannan Junior/Senior High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Hannan Junior/Senior High School is a small, rural school in Ashton, WV, serving 193 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of Mason County Schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of just 10.1:1, Hannan offers a remarkably personalized learning environment—one of the most intimate in the region. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $13,636 per pupil, which is higher than most nearby schools. However, academic proficiency remains a challenge. In 11th grade math, only 13.8% of students are proficient, compared to the state average of 20.6% and 29.7% at the nearby Buffalo High School, just 5.1 miles away. ELA proficiency (44.8%) and science proficiency (13.8%) also trail state averages. Despite these test scores, Hannan shines in one critical area: its graduation rate of 95.8% exceeds the state average of 92.8% and rivals much higher-performing schools like Nitro High School (95.6%) and Cabell Midland High School (95.2%). This represents a remarkable 17-point improvement over just three years.

Perhaps the most encouraging story is Hannan's work with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In 2025-2026, this subgroup ranked 31st out of 104 schools statewide (70th percentile, 4 stars)—a dramatic leap from the 1st percentile just two years prior. This suggests targeted interventions are working. However, a notable gender gap has emerged: male students rank in the 44th percentile while female students rank in the 17th percentile. The school's overall ranking has been volatile, swinging between the 3rd and 36th percentiles over the past decade, which is common for small schools where a single cohort can shift outcomes. While Hannan faces clear academic hurdles—especially in math and science—its strong graduation rates, improving support for disadvantaged students, and intimate class sizes provide a solid foundation for continued growth.
