Design and implement effective student support and success strategies
How can you prepare K–12 students for successful futures? By addressing their wide-ranging learning and development needs. Hanover’s services prepare districts and schools to deliver proven, tiered, and targeted support strategies to help students overcome challenges, build confidence, and achieve success in their educational journey.

Elevate academic and behavioral outcomes by understanding student needs
Use student input to improve achievement
Hanover’s in-depth interviews uncover how students view their engagement and contributions at school. These insights help K–12 leaders boost student voice efforts.
Learn how other schools provide Multi-Tiered Systems of Support
Our MTSS Intervention Benchmarking study gathers comparative data about support programs, policies, and practices at other districts and schools.
Evaluate SEL outcomes and opportunities
Hanover's SEL Survey measures student, parent, and staff perceptions of social-emotional learning to inform programming and professional learning plans.
Prepare students for life after graduation
Hanover’s College and Career Readiness Survey gathers student, family, and staff perceptions of college and career programs and future opportunities.
Promote better behavioral student outcomes
Hanover’s Discipline Data Analysis identifies district or school discipline trends over time and across student groups. A comparison of rates highlights areas for change, intervention, or resourcing.

Bridgeport Public Schools Prioritizes School Climate to Improve Outcomes for All
“Our partnership with Hanover helped us reaffirm that relationships and a sense of belonging for kids is the number one priority for learning and academic growth. Without that across the day, we will have high chronic absenteeism and higher failure rates.”
– Cheryl Faga Milo, Director of SEL & Student Affairs

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

Westport Public Schools Improves Survey Quality and Data Analysis with Hanover
“Westport Public Schools partnered with Hanover Research because they were able to fully customize and improve our annual school climate survey and its analysis to meet our district’s specific needs. Hanover is a powerhouse whose team truly partners with us, which has not always been our experience with other vendors. They work fast, offer proactive suggestions to increase effectiveness, and are responsive to our questions. Additionally, Hanover is helping us with a variety of other research to improve our student data dashboards, incorporate AI into district operations, and assess cellphone use in our schools.”
– Michael Rizzo, Assistant Superintendent of Pupil Personnel Services
