Hancock Place Middle

Summary:

Hancock Place Middle is a public middle school located in Lemay, Missouri, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school is part of the Hancock Place District, which is ranked 216 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hancock Place Middle has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (23.84%) and Hispanic (10.32%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, is generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Oakville Middle, Robert H. Sperreng Middle, and Bayless Junior High. Hancock Place Middle has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Hancock Place Middle's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have improved over the years, going from 1 star in 2018-2019 to 3 stars in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may be making progress in addressing its academic challenges. Additionally, the school performs relatively well in certain subgroups, such as African American students and students with low socioeconomic status, compared to their peers in other Missouri middle schools. The high per-student spending of $14,591 in the 2021-2022 school year may be contributing to these improvements, but the school still faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student socioeconomic status, which are common issues faced by many high-poverty schools.

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.
