Elementary Schools in Hanover

The Hanover school district in Massachusetts is home to two elementary schools: Center Elementary and Cedar Elementary. While both schools serve students in grades K-5, the data reveals that Center Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution within the district.

Center Elementary consistently outperforms the Hanover district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation test scores for both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. In the 2023-2024 school year, 57.27% of students at Center Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 55.25% for Hanover and 39.17% for Massachusetts. Additionally, Center Elementary has a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools in recent years.

In contrast, Cedar Elementary does not stand out as strongly in the data provided. It has a lower statewide ranking and less detailed performance data available. The difference in per-student spending between the two schools (around $1,500) may be an area worth exploring further to understand the potential impact on resources and educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Center Elementary is providing a high-quality education to its students, while the performance of Cedar Elementary is less clear from the information provided.
