Identify the programming and investments with the greatest impact
As budget challenges rise, K–12 organizations must know if they’re investing in programs and practices that improve student success. From reading and math programs to assessment tools, AI initiatives, and LMS platforms, we guide you through a comprehensive evaluation process that empowers your team to build transparent practices, measure results and return on investment (ROI), and make data-driven decisions.

Hanover assesses program participation, dosage, and outcomes to identify gaps and representation patterns, equipping your team with evidence to scale, modify, or discontinue initiatives.
Establish an effective process to pinpoint results
Our experts help your team map out program objectives, inputs, and intended outcomes to conduct evaluations that measure impact and ROI.
Capture the full breadth of programs and perceptions
Hanover’s survey examines systemwide program awareness, use, and perceptions to ensure resources are allocated in the right places.

Dallas ISD Leverages K–12 Program Evaluation to Maximize Student Outcomes
“The district is committed to using objective and valid information to make informed decisions about its initiatives. Our partnership with Hanover allows us to extend our internal staffing capacity to be able to gather and analyze key program data that will lead to improved educational success for all our students.”
— Cecilia Oakeley, PhD, Deputy Chief of Evaluation and Assessment

Joliet Township High School District’s Data-Based Special Ed Improvement
“We wanted to improve our Special Education services to exceed state and federal compliance to ensure all our learners have the tools and support they need to succeed. The Hanover team understood our goals and used data and evidence to point us in the right direction toward achieving those goals.”
– Dianne McDonald, Assistant Superintendent, Educational Services

Chula Vista Elementary School District Partners with Hanover to Support Students to Achieve Greater Success
“While it would be fantastic to fully analyze initiatives, programs, and curriculum internally on our own, the truth is that human resource constraints make that option very difficult. Hanover Research is the solution that we rely on year after year to support our work with students; to prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that our expenditures for student achievement are giving our stakeholders what they expect coming from our district.”
– Matthew R. Tessier, Ed.D., Assistant Superintendent, Innovation and Instruction

Washtenaw ISD Expands Career Technical Education and Secures $25 Million in Funding
“Local student demand for CTE is rising, yet Washtenaw students had less access than other students statewide. To address barriers and increase equitable access, we needed a trusted research partner like Hanover to use data to help us re-envision how to build a robust talent pipeline to in-demand careers.”
— Ryan Rowe, CTE Director and Career Education Planning District Administrator
