Best Public Schools in Hancock, NY

Summary:

The city of Hancock, New York is home to two schools: Hancock Junior-Senior High School and Hancock Elementary School, both part of the Hancock Central School District. These schools serve a predominantly white student population and demonstrate a mix of academic strengths and areas for improvement.

Hancock Junior-Senior High School stands out for its impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, but its academic performance on state assessments is more varied, with 8th-grade proficiency rates in ELA and math reaching 56.25%, while 6th-grade proficiency is much lower, particularly in math. In contrast, Hancock Elementary School demonstrates strong math proficiency, with 70% of 3rd graders and 50% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better, outperforming district and state averages.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting a potentially favorable learning environment. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate at the high school and the significant difference in free/reduced lunch eligibility between the two schools (39.25% at the high school, 54.17% at the elementary) may indicate socioeconomic disparities within the district that warrant further investigation and targeted support programs.
