Hanover Highlands Elementary School

Summary:

Hanover Highlands Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hanover Park, Illinois, serving 546 students in grades K-6 and part of the Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, which is ranked 168 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 4-star rating.

Hanover Highlands has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 307 out of 2,044 Illinois elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 660 out of 2,086 in 2018-2019. In the most recent school year (2023-2024), the school ranked 588 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools, with a 4-star rating. The school performs well for certain student subgroups, such as ranking 263 out of 959 Illinois elementary schools for Hispanic students and 101 out of 826 for English Language Learner students, both with 4-star ratings. However, Hanover Highlands has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 4.8% in 2019-2020 to 23.8% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern.

When compared to nearby schools within the same Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, such as Nathan Hale Elementary School and Campanelli Elementary School, Hanover Highlands performs relatively well. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring School District U-46, such as Sunnydale Elementary, Heritage Elementary, and Laurel Hill Elementary, Hanover Highlands performs significantly better. Despite its relatively high spending per student of $16,606 in 2022-2023 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4, the school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are generally below the district and state averages, indicating room for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

I have my 1st grade son going to this school and i have been very disappointed. As a child i went to this school and walking in to the school office it was always a very welcoming and the ladies who who worked there always greeted you with a smile and kindness. I am sorry to say but now when i walk into that office for any thing that i need to ask about my child. The Latina women who is always there in the office is RUDE, she gives nasty attitude when all you do is ask a question. Does not treat you with respect. And to know that is the school where my son is attending. I really hope this school can change a couple of things and how employees treat mothers of the kids who go to that school! My family who have kids in the same grade as my child have experienced the same thing. All i ask is for respect Please... Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
