I believe this is actually a really great school. The enriched programs are challenging as meant to be. So overall a really good school

Buffalo High School offers more dual enrollment - College Credit courses than any other High School in Minnesota. These are classes that students can take while attending High School and earn college credit. Students can complete all of their college general education requirements at Buffalo High School. My two daughters entered college with 51 and 37 College credits out of High School.

Homework in 1st and 2nd grade consists of 1 page of math (10 minutes), the writing of 10 spelling words and they encourage 20 minutes of reading per night maximum (some teachers give less). This is ensures that parents are involved in the progress of math and develop the habit of reading daily. Math development is key in first and second grade (addition, subtraction, multiplying and dividing) so it is imperative that parents are dialed into this process. There are holiday parties at Hanover (Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, 100 Day) that take up two hours of classroom time per party. It is one of the many things that make Hanover a great place to be. You will not find a school that has more community and teacher involvement than Hanover. Their overall scores and scores relating to closing the gap are unmatched in the district and some of the highest in the state. Parents are volunteers in the classroom and certainly not teaching core curriculum. There is not enough good things I can say about this school, its staff and the community that supports it.
