The Hanover Park Regional High School District is a comprehensive regional public school district that serves students in ninth through twelfth grades from three communities in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Students come from East Hanover Township, Florham Park and Hanover Township.[3][4]
As of the 2023–24 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 1,331 students and 133.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.0:1.[1]
The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "GH", the third-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[5]
Students from East Hanover and Florham Park had been informed in 1952 by the Madison Public Schools that students from the two communities could not be accommodated at Madison High School after the 1954-55 school year.[6]
Hanover Park High School was designed to accommodate 1,000 students when complete and was estimated to cost $2.25 million (equivalent to $26 million in 2024). In 1956, the architect of the Hanover Park facility received an award for its campus-type design, the first such in the state.[7]
