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.

I liked how Hanover has an excellent chemistry teachers to help the students better themselves in that class. I think Hanover should consider improving their student and teacher diversity and offer more college prep courses that will ensure the students are prepared for that next step in their future schooling.

It's a clean school that is focused on safety. The community is friendly and the administration is always helpful. However, the teachers are not always the best and the school seriously lacks in clubs.

I went to Hanover Area Jr/Sr High School until 11th grade . I was in the Hanover school district from k-11th they were the best years of my life. The teachers are amazing, hall monitors were respectful and I'll never forget my favorite nurse ever.. making friends was so easy . I'll be a Hawkeye till the day I die!!

This school is horrible. They are more focused on their little football team than education. Most of the elementary school teachers are more worried with what you are wearing than actual learning. Not only that, their football team is terrible. I hate the school so much, there is excessive bullying,...
