Elementary Schools in Hancock County

The elementary schools in Hancock County, Tennessee, serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data set includes information on two schools in the district: Hancock County Elementary and Hancock County Early Learning Center. While both schools have a predominantly White student population, they appear to be underperforming compared to the state average, with low test scores across all grade levels.

Hancock County Elementary, the larger of the two schools, has a student-teacher ratio of 12.9 and spent $11,996 per student in the 2020-2021 school year. However, its proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are consistently below the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was 29%, compared to the state average of 39.7%. The Hancock County Early Learning Center, a pre-kindergarten-only school, has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 15.2, but its performance data is not available in the provided information.

The low academic performance of these schools, coupled with the lack of diversity in their student populations, suggests that the district may be facing challenges in providing quality education and equitable opportunities for all students. Further investigation into the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic conditions, teacher quality, and curriculum, could help identify areas for improvement and guide the district's efforts to support the academic success of its elementary school students.
