Summary:
The Eastern Hancock Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Eastern Hancock County Com School Corp district in Indiana. With 306 students enrolled, the school serves grades 6-8 and faces a mix of academic performance challenges compared to state and district averages.
While the school's performance on ILEARN assessments is above the state average in 7th and 8th grade math and 6th grade science, it lags behind the district average in English Language Arts across all grade levels. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which can negatively impact student learning. Economically disadvantaged students make up 35.29% of the school's population, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.8 and per-student spending of $9,866 for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the data suggests that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes, indicating potential areas for optimization in the school's curriculum, instruction, and support for struggling students.
