GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

A great small-town high school. Teachers are able to personally speak with each student about grades or other problems.

I really liked the fact that it was a small school and that I had a small class, so I knew everyone in the class and we were all a pretty tight knit group of people. I really would like to see the college readiness change at Hanson though. Sure there are dual credit classes offered, but other than actually taking a college class they don't prepare you for college.

I myself am not allowed to participate in sports or go to games, because I live on a poultry farm and do not have time. It seems as if our school is centered mostly on sports.
