Summary

North Hancock Elementary School serves 451 students in pre-K through grade 5 in Lewisport, Kentucky. Its 2025–2026 results are mixed: reading is a strength in grades 4 and 5, but grade 5 is a clear academic trouble spot. Only 29% of fifth graders were proficient in math, 14 percentage points below the state, 6 below Hancock County, and 23 points below the nearby-school average; that was the lowest reported grade 5 math result among the 10 nearby schools. The clearest concern for families is this recent, pronounced weakness in fifth-grade math.

Reading is a relative strength, especially in the upper grades: grade 4 proficiency was 55%, 5 points above the state and 4 above the nearby average, while grade 5 was 60%, 9 above the state and 5 above nearby schools. Grade 3 reading was weaker at 41%, 8 points below the state. Grade 4 science was 45%, 5 points above the state and 1 point above the nearby average, though 4 points below the district. Grade 5 performance was weak in other subjects, too: writing was 29%, social studies 31%, and editing and mechanics 40%—respectively 6, 7, and 8 points below the state, and 13, 11, and 13 below nearby averages. Attendance is comparatively favorable: chronic absenteeism was 15%, versus 20% in the district and 24% statewide.

Results over time show real gains in reading and science, but not across the board. The reading average across grades 3–5 rose from 42% in 2022–2023 to 52% in 2025–2026; science improved from 38% to 45%. In contrast, grade 5 math fell 19 points from the prior year. SchoolDigger places the school at the 47th percentile statewide, ranks it 361st of 684, and gives it 2 stars; among the 10 nearby schools, it is third-lowest by percentile. Its student-teacher ratio is 14.2, the fourth-lowest among the 11 schools compared. The school reported 59% free/reduced lunch eligible in SY 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 63%. SchoolDigger’s Female Students percentile fell from 63 in 2024–2025 to 43 in 2025–2026, a sharper drop than the overall percentile’s decline from 59 to 47.
