The Hanover district is the anchor here, ranked 60th of 351 districts in Massachusetts — the 83rd percentile with 4 stars. Its schools all carry 4-star ratings. Hanover Middle ranks 75th of 478 schools (84th percentile), with standout results including 7th grade math at 65.53% proficient versus a state figure of 37.48%, 8th grade science at 62.21% versus 38.93%, and 6th grade ELA at 61.09% versus 40.26%. Hanover High ranks 73rd of 353 (79th percentile) and beats the state in every core subject: ELA 10th grade at 55.9% versus 45.48%, math at 58.02% versus 43.73%, science at 60.38% versus 40.5%, and biology end-of-course at 59.15% versus 37.68%, alongside a 97.1% graduation rate and 0.6% dropout rate. Center Elementary ranks 190th of 899 (79th percentile), with math all grades at 58.86% versus the state's 41.11%.
South Shore Vocational Technical High shows a split profile: a 98.2% graduation rate and physics end-of-course at 56.9% versus 46.58%, but ELA 10th grade at 43.09%, math at 39.89%, and biology at 29.31%, all below state averages. It also has the highest per-student spending ($22,167) and lowest student-teacher ratio (10.2), which does not track with its core proficiency. Cedar Elementary serves PK–1 and has no current MCAS scores, so it is not comparable to the others. Free/reduced-price lunch data are blank for all five schools — this should not be read as 0% — so socioeconomic comparisons cannot be made.
