As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote As a parent of two former Hanover Elementary Students, and being a retired teacher myself, and now a substitute teacher, coming back many times to substitute teach at Hanover School, I have seen over many years now, how this amazing school operates in every way from the inside out! It is no surprise to me that Hanover Elementary is rated at the top of all Minnesota Elementary Schools! This school is simply incredible and we are SO THANKFUL our children were lucky enough to be able to attend Hanover Elementary, where every child is considered special, and truly LOVED!! That has
made all the difference!!

The entire Hanover Staff is second to none!! Their love for the kids shines through everything they do! The teachers work very hard to make sure that the individual needs of every student are met, so as to make sure all students are learning and working to their maximum potential! This is accomplished through cultivating a very positive, nurturing and caring environment from the staff to the students throughout the school each and every day in helping to encourage and boost their self esteem and self confidence in everything they do. Happy kids are more creative and successful kids!

I’ve never seen a more encouraging, caring and supportive staff ANYWHERE! This school is simply the BEST OF THE BEST!! THANK YOU HANOVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL for everything you do for every child each and every day!!! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
