Summary:
The East Hanover Township School District in New Jersey is home to a single standout middle school, East Hanover Middle School, which consistently outperforms state averages in academic proficiency and maintains a strong statewide ranking.
East Hanover Middle School's academic excellence is evident in its NJSLA proficiency rates, which exceed state averages by significant margins in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's students have demonstrated exceptional performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 62.1% to 86.1% in ELA and 38.6% to 59% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 49% to 55.7% in ELA and 17.8% to 34.3% in Mathematics.

Beyond its academic prowess, East Hanover Middle School also benefits from a favorable learning environment, with a low student-teacher ratio of 7.7 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student. While the school's student population is predominantly White, with smaller percentages of Hispanic and Asian students, the low percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests a relatively affluent community. The school's only potential area for improvement is its slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate, which may require attention to ensure continued student engagement and success.
