Summary:

The city of Grantville, Pennsylvania has one public elementary school, East Hanover Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 and is part of the Lower Dauphin School District. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.

East Hanover Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 716 out of 1,526 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 913 out of 1,511 in 2024-2025, indicating a relative decline in performance. The school's proficiency rates in PSSA Math and English Language Arts are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can be an indicator of economic disadvantage.

While East Hanover Elementary School has some positive attributes, it appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the Grantville area. Further analysis and investigation may be needed to fully understand the school's strengths and challenges, and how it compares to other schools in the region.
