What stands out about Hanover Community School Corp

  • Estimated teacher pay here rose +18.7% between FY2019 and FY2023, outpacing Indiana's statewide +13.9% by 4.9 points, a growth rate faster than 69% of the 289 Indiana districts with a comparable FY2019 baseline.
  • Enrolment grew 14.5% here, from 2,387 students in FY2019 to 2,734 in FY2023, against a national picture where far more districts shrank than grew over the same period. Growth of this kind typically arrives before the funding that follows it, so per-pupil figures often dip while a district absorbs it.
