Summary:

Hanover Township School District includes four schools in Hanover Township: Bee Meadow, Mountview Road and Salem Drive serve elementary grades, while Memorial Junior serves grades 6–8. The clearest takeaway is that every school’s reported 2025–2026 results were above the matching state results: elementary averages led by 7–23 points in math and 11–22 points in ELA, and Memorial’s reported grade-level ELA and math results also topped the state.

Mountview Road was the most consistent elementary standout, averaging 70% proficient in both ELA and math across grades 3–5; its math average was 16 points above Bee Meadow, the lowest in that subject at 54%. Salem Drive had the lowest elementary ELA average, 59%, while Bee Meadow had a much stronger 70% ELA average but uneven math results, including 44% in grade 5, below the state’s 46%. Salem’s grade 5 math was a bright spot at 73%, the highest among the elementary schools. Memorial averaged 67% in ELA and 52% in math; its two separate Algebra I results were both 100%, compared with state results of 40% for the end-of-course measure and 75% for grade 8.

Recent trends were mixed: the elementary ELA average rose from 64% to 66%, and its advantage over the state grew from 14 to 18 points; the math average fell from 65% to 63%, narrowing its state advantage from 18 to 15 points. Grade 5 science also fell, from 46% to 42%, while Memorial Junior’s grade 8 science result dropped from 36% to 27%. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 ratings were 83rd percentile for Mountview Road, 71st for Bee Meadow and Salem Drive, and 81st for Memorial; Salem’s rating had fallen 17 points since 2023–2024. As context, the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible measure ranged from 3% at Salem to 10% at Mountview, and student–teacher ratios ranged from 9.3 at Memorial to 10.6 at Mountview; these figures do not explain test results.
