Summary

T. Dale Hancock Elementary School serves 667 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in Chandler, Arizona, as part of Chandler Unified District #80. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger rated it 3 stars and placed it at the 63rd statewide percentile. Students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) at a rate of 55% and in math at 41%. The clearest concern is math: Hancock was 10 points below the district, even though it was 8 points above Arizona overall.

Hancock’s ELA result compares favorably with nearby schools, while its math result trails them: nearby schools averaged 52% in ELA and 44% in math, putting Hancock 3 points above the local ELA average and 3 points below the math average. Its grade-level results show sharper differences: grade 3 ELA was a relative strength at 57%, compared with 39% statewide, while grade 5 ELA was 41%, 12 points below the district. Grade 4 math was the clearest grade-level weakness at 38%, below both the state’s 40% and the district’s 55%. Fifth-grade science is a brighter spot: the latest result was 47%, compared with 34% statewide and 48% districtwide.

Results and rankings have shifted over time.
