Hancock County


Summary:

The Hancock County school district in Georgia consists of 3 public schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Unfortunately, the performance of these schools is consistently low, with all three institutions significantly underperforming state averages across key metrics like test scores and graduation rates.

According to the data, Lewis Elementary School, Hancock Central High School, and Hancock Central Middle School all have proficiency rates well below the state average in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, the 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate at Lewis Elementary is just 9.3%, compared to the state average of 38.4%. The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 75.4% is also significantly lower than the state average.

Despite higher-than-average per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the Hancock County school district continues to struggle, with little to no improvement in performance over the past three years. The district's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking of 203 out of 203 districts in the state further underscores the systemic challenges facing these schools. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond just increasing funding.
