This is in contrast to other subgroups, such as female, male, and English Language Learner students, who rank much lower. Additionally, Hanover's low-income students, who make up 62.53% to 69.77% of the student population, perform better than their peers in other schools, suggesting the school may be providing effective support for this demographic. Compared to nearby schools like Thomas Hooker School, Roger Sherman School, and Benjamin Franklin School, Hanover's academic performance is generally lower, but it still outperforms some schools outside the Meriden district, such as Parker Farms School in Wallingford.
