Original Research by School Decision on Hanover Online Academy
Hanover Online Academy is a regular public school serving grades six through twelve, part of Hanover School District No. 28 in El Paso County. Its street address places it on South Peyton Highway, a rural road east of the Colorado Springs urban area, though the school carries a Colorado Springs mailing address. The district itself covers a largely rural and agricultural part of the county, distinct from the sprawling military and aerospace economy of central Colorado Springs.
The school’s name and structure suggest a virtual or online instructional model, though the available data does not confirm the mode of delivery. Enrollment figures in the most recent reporting period are recorded as having no students. This could reflect a very new program, a temporary inactive status, or a data suppression threshold for small numbers; the public record does not explain the gap. Similarly, race and ethnicity counts are all reported as zero, and no data is available for free or reduced-price meal eligibility, special education services, or English learner populations.
State assessment results for math, English language arts, and science are all suppressed, with no proficiency rates reported. No graduation rate appears in the public data. Because so many standard academic metrics are absent, the school cannot be placed relative to other districts in El Paso County on any of the typical measures such as proficiency, graduation, or chronic absenteeism. The comparison summary notes that those metrics are not applicable due to missing values.
A parent or resident researching this school will find very little in the way of publicly reported academic performance, student body composition, or program offerings. The school’s website and direct contact with the district would be necessary to clarify whether the academy is currently enrolling students, what curriculum it follows, and how it supports middle and high school learners in an online setting. The district itself, Hanover 28, shows no recent parent-relevant changes in publicly available records, so the school may operate under stable administrative conditions.
Housing in the ZIP code where the school is situated has values that are modest relative to the broader state and national benchmarks, and the area leans rural, with lower density than the Colorado Springs core. For families considering this option, the primary questions are about the school’s operational status, its virtual learning structure, and how it handles instruction, assessment, and student support across secondary grades. The public data does not answer those questions, so further inquiry with the district is essential.
