Summary:
The Hanover-Horton School District in Michigan is home to a single elementary school, HanoverHorton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school stands out as a strong performer within the district, consistently ranking in the top half of Michigan elementary schools over the past three years.
HanoverHorton Elementary boasts impressive academic achievements, particularly in 3rd grade where students outperform the state averages in both Math (74% proficient vs. 43.4% statewide) and English Language Arts (57.1% vs. 39.6% statewide). However, the school faces a concerning decline in 5th grade proficiency rates, suggesting a need to examine instructional practices and support for upper elementary students. Additionally, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8% may be contributing to the drop-off in 5th grade scores.
Despite these challenges, HanoverHorton Elementary appears to have adequate funding and staffing resources, with per-student spending of $12,054 and a student-teacher ratio of 19.7 to 1. The school also serves a diverse population, with 39.36% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, HanoverHorton Elementary is a strong-performing school within the Hanover-Horton School District, but there are opportunities for improvement in addressing attendance issues and supporting upper elementary students.
