Summary:
The 13783 zip code area is home to two schools, Hancock Junior-Senior High School and Hancock Elementary School, both part of the Hancock Central School District. While the high school boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, the district as a whole faces challenges, ranking 532 out of 866 school districts in New York and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Hancock Junior-Senior High School stands out for its strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in Algebra II, U.S. History and Government, and Living Environment, where proficiency rates exceed 80%. In contrast, the elementary school shines in math, with 70% of 3rd graders and 50% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better on state assessments. However, the district's overall academic proficiency rates are mixed, with some areas below the state average.
Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as such. The high school's smaller student-teacher ratio of 7.1:1 may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes, while the elementary school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests greater economic need among its student population. Despite the differences, both schools spend a relatively high amount per student, likely due to the small size of the district and the need to maintain facilities and staffing for a limited number of students.
