What Parents Should Know

At 137 students, Hanover Junior-senior High School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Hanover Junior-senior High School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

55% of students at Hanover Junior-senior High School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
