Elementary Schools in Hanover Township School District

Summary:

The Hanover Township School District in New Jersey is home to three high-performing elementary schools: Bee Meadow School, Mountview Road School, and Salem Drive School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and have consistently demonstrated strong academic achievement, with several grade levels exceeding district and state averages in NJSLA test scores.

Among the three schools, Mountview Road School stands out as the highest-ranked, placing 206th out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools in 2024-2025. It has also maintained a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years. Salem Drive School is another standout, ranking 165th out of 1,338 New Jersey elementary schools in 2023-2024 and also maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While all three schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.4 to 10.3 students per teacher, the district faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding the state average across all three schools. Additionally, the schools vary in their socioeconomic demographics, with Bee Meadow School having the highest percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 10.3%, and Salem Drive School having the lowest at 2.54%.
