Summary:
The Hanover Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Hanover Public School District in Pennsylvania. With a student population of 615, the school has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, dropping from 349 out of 883 Pennsylvania middle schools in 2021-2022 to 443 out of 891 in 2023-2024.
Academically, Hanover Middle School's performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in math and science consistently below state and district averages, while English Language Arts scores are closer to the norm. The school's dropout rate of 1.6% is relatively low, but its high percentage of students (69.27%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's academic challenges, its spending per student of $13,296 is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient use of resources. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.4 is also slightly higher than the state average, potentially impacting the level of individual attention students receive. Overall, Hanover Middle School appears to be a relatively average-performing middle school in the state, with room for improvement in key academic areas.
