Summary:
The city of Hanover, Michigan has only one school, HanoverHorton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While there are no other schools in the immediate area to directly compare it to, the data provides insights into how the school performs relative to state-level metrics.
HanoverHorton Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking improve in recent years, moving from 717th out of 1,470 Michigan elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 457th out of 1,488 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores show a mixed performance, with some grade levels outperforming the state average and others falling behind. However, the school's spending per student of $13,076 is slightly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance. The school's student-teacher ratio of 18.6 to 1 is within the typical range for elementary schools.
One area of concern for HanoverHorton Elementary School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which exceeds the state's goal of 10% or less. Additionally, 39.7% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Addressing these challenges could be a focus for the school and the Hanover-Horton School District.
