Great school, it is just too bad the district can't continue to support after school programs like Night Lights.

I give the school a rating four because I am a graduate of 2006-2007 and I went to Hanover for 14 years and I hated it sometimes but most of the time I was there I liked it so it all worked out good because i'm graduated and trying to continue my education to study some type of medicine at the Jackson Community College.

This High School is AWESOME! The staff from the Superintendent right down to the Maintenance Crew CARE about their students! By far the school is superior both academically as well as athletically. Exceptional school spirit, wonderful learning environment, fantastic student body. Most schools have 'clicks' but at H-HH you will find all grade levels interacting with respect, compassion, and integrity. Just an overall wonderful experience for everyone. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Our daughters entered second semester their 10th and 7th grade years as school of choice transfers and were immediately accepted. Both have experienced positive lifetime memories. Thank you Hanover-Horton High School, as a parent your daily effort is appreciated!!!!

I have been pleased with what this small town school has to offer its students and families. There is a real sense of the school(s) being the center of the community.

This is a great school. The teachers are very well qualified and they listen to their students. There MEAP scores are very good as well. All the teachers are friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a good school look no further then Hanover Horton High School.

About the tests


In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Michigan used the Michigan Merit Examination (MME) to assess students in grade 11 in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. The MME is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MME test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
