Summary:

Eastern Hancock High School is a public high school located in Charlottesville, Indiana, serving 378 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Eastern Hancock County Com School Corp district, which is ranked 93 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastern Hancock High School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Indiana high schools, with a peak ranking of 10th in the state in 2013-2014. However, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping to 184th in 2023-2024. The school maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 89.5% to 99.0% over the past five years, which are generally higher than the surrounding schools like Pendleton Heights High School and Tri Junior-Senior High School. Eastern Hancock High School's test scores in SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing and SAT/Mathematics for 11th-grade students have been consistently above the state and district averages, though they have shown some decline in recent years.

One area of concern is the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 16.8% to 22.8% over the past three years, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Eastern Hancock High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.83%) compared to the more diverse student populations of nearby schools, raising questions about the school's efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity. Despite these challenges, Eastern Hancock High School remains a well-performing school with a strong academic tradition, but it may need to address these areas of concern to maintain its excellence and better serve its student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
