Hancock Central School District


Summary:

The Hancock Central School District in New York operates two schools: Hancock Junior-Senior High School, serving grades 5-12, and Hancock Elementary School, serving grades PK-4. While the high school has a 3-star rating and generally performs above the state average on Regents exams, the elementary school struggles with a 1-star rating and lower proficiency rates on state assessments.

The high school has a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a concerning 34.1% chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (54.17%) compared to the high school (39.25%), which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. Both schools have higher per-student spending than the state average, but the district appears to allocate more resources to the high school.

The data suggests a significant disparity in the performance of the two schools within the Hancock Central School District. Addressing the specific challenges faced by the elementary school, such as low proficiency rates in core subjects and high chronic absenteeism, could be a priority for the district to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
