Summary

HanoverHorton High School is a small, rural public high school in Horton, MI, serving 289 students in grades 9-12 within the Hanover-Horton School District.

HanoverHorton stands out for its strong culture of attendance and its ability to support students from all backgrounds. Only 11.7% of students were chronically absent in the 2024-2025 school year, a rate dramatically lower than the state average of 27.9% and far better than nearby schools like Jackson High School (39.5%) or Vandercook Lake High School (39.2%). The school also earned a remarkable 5-star rating for its work with low-income students that same year, ranking 15th out of 635 schools statewide—a feat no neighboring school matched. In English Language Arts, 10th graders posted a 73.5% proficiency rate on the PSAT, well above the state average, and 11th graders achieved 75% proficiency in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, outpacing the state (55.4%) and nearby Western High School (60.3%).

However, the school shows a clear split between subjects. While it excels in reading and writing, only 17.2% of 11th graders were proficient in SAT Math in the 2025-2026 cycle—a significant drop from 33.8% the year before and below the state average of 26.5%. This volatility is a pattern: the school jumped from the 86th percentile statewide in 2024-2025 to the 62nd percentile in 2025-2026, likely due to its small size where a single cohort can shift results. Its graduation rate of 88.4% is above the state average (84.0%), though lower than Western High School's 98.9%. Notably, HanoverHorton achieves these results while spending $15,650 per student—less than several lower-performing peers like Jackson High School ($18,713) and Vandercook Lake High School ($19,218)—suggesting efficient use of resources.
