GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Great facilities. Advisors need improvement with assisting seniors. Food ( free) always ran out. Excellent safety. Friendliest staff anywhere.

Overall I am very fortunate to have gone to school at Hanover High School. Hanover is a very nice town and the school system is one of the better ones. This school is quite inclusive and I feel truly does value the beliefs of the student body. I would say at times, more can be done for the well-being of the students, such as removing bathroom gates and allowing seniors to be dismissed 5 minutes early to help traffic. Hanover High School is a safe environment with great teachers, and I am lucky to go to a positive school like this.
