Summary

Hancock Creek Elementary School in North Fort Myers, FL, serves 814 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Lee school district, which ranks in the bottom 20th percentile of Florida districts.

Hancock Creek has shown a remarkable academic turnaround, jumping to a 3-star rating (50th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year after several years of lower performance. This is especially impressive given that the school faces a significant challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 42.8%, which is nearly double that of nearby schools like Diplomat Elementary School (22.1%) and Orangewood Elementary School (20.3%). Despite this hurdle, the school's 2025-2026 test scores are at or above the district average in nearly every subject and grade, outperforming peers with similar poverty levels. For example, Hancock Creek outperforms J. Colin English Elementary School (69% free/reduced lunch) in 6 out of 7 test categories and Tropic Isles Elementary School (67% free/reduced lunch) in 5 out of 7 categories.

What makes Hancock Creek stand out is its efficiency: it achieves better results with fewer resources than some neighboring schools. For instance, Edgewood Academy spends nearly double per student ($20,498 vs. $10,517) but ranks in the 18th percentile, while Hancock Creek ranks in the 50th. Additionally, compared to Dr. Carrie D Robinson Littleton Elementary School, which has lower absenteeism and poverty rates, Hancock Creek's test scores are nearly identical or slightly better. This suggests that the school's recent reforms are working effectively, and if the chronic absenteeism issue can be addressed, the school has strong potential for even greater success.
