Hanover helps children when they need help, and the teachers and facility are very giving and care about the well being of the children. My daughter has ADHD and they have worked with her throughout her 4 years there. They are one of the best schools I have ever dealt with.

My children have been in this school for the since pre-k and the last one is set to go to middle school next year. This saddens me tremendously because my kids have been taken care of so well, the principal is amazing with the children, and the teachers are outstanding.I will greatly miss the staff and the school itself.The ladies in the cafeteria make everyday special for the kids.This school is a jewel among others.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The CMT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
