About Hanover County Public Schools
Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.
Hanover County Public Schools is a national award-winning suburban school district located in the Richmond, Virginia, metropolitan area. Approximately 19,400 prek-12 students attend the twenty-five comparably successful schools--fifteen elementary, four middle, four high, one alternative, and on technical school. All schools are accredited by the Virginia Department of Education and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Hanover County’s less-than-one-percent student drop-out rate coupled with standardized test scores among the very best in Virginia illustrate the district’s philosophy to find the wealth in every child. Hanover County teachers enjoy excellent student-teacher ratios, many active parent volunteers, abundant technological equipment, a beginning teacher mentor program, and many other professional development opportunities, including tuition reimbursement.
