Summary

North Hancock Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lewisport, Kentucky, serving 471 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hancock County School District, which is ranked 55 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While North Hancock Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.8, the school is facing significant challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rate has risen from 16.8% in 2022-2023 to 25.0% in 2024-2025, which is much higher than the Hancock County and Kentucky state averages. Academically, the school's performance is generally below the county and state averages, with only 41% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, compared to 47% for Hancock County and 43% for the state. The school's performance on various student subgroups has also declined, with the white student subgroup ranking in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to nearby schools, such as South Hancock Elementary, North Hancock Elementary generally underperforms in academic measures. Additionally, the school serves a population with higher economic needs, with 64.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite the higher spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, the school has not seen improved academic outcomes. To address these challenges, the school and district should focus on implementing targeted interventions, reviewing instructional practices, and developing data-driven strategies to support the academic growth of all student subgroups.
