This K-8 school serves approximately 923 students from kindergarten through 8th grade (elementary to middle school).

In addition, approximately 81% of enrolled students are performing at or above the state standards on math assessments and about 82% are performing at or above the state's reading proficiency level. Like other regular public schools in the Lammersville Joint Unified School District, Hansen operates as a K-8 school. For families, becoming established at an elementary school prior to entering the middle school level offers more continuity with their child not having to change schools for the next five years until transitioning to the district’s high school. The cost of homes to purchase in the immediate area of Hansen Elementary is currently around $900,000, as families are consistently moving into this growing community of newly created housing developments. In general, the location of Hansen is viewed favourably among families looking for an elementary school within the Mountain House area and is often considered among the best elementary school in California due to the school’s strong testing results and its elementary to middle school transition from a single point of entry.
