Best Public Schools in Hanover, IN


Summary:

The city of Hanover, Indiana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Southwestern Elementary School, Southwestern High School, and Southwestern Middle School. These schools are part of the Southwestern-Jefferson County Con district and serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the standout schools, Southwestern Elementary School performs above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, and has a relatively high 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Southwestern Middle School struggles with Math proficiency, with only 14.14% of students scoring proficient or better, well below the district and state averages. Southwestern High School maintains a strong four-year graduation rate of 88.8%, but lags behind in SAT Math performance compared to the district average.

The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools. This factor may contribute to the academic performance disparities observed, and warrants further investigation. Additionally, the higher per-student spending at Southwestern High School compared to Southwestern Middle School suggests a focus on supporting high school students, while the relatively low student-teacher ratios across all schools indicate a commitment to providing smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.
