Summary

Hancock Elementary School is a public school in Brockton, Massachusetts, serving 666 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grades and subjects. Hancock's academic challenges are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students.

Compared to other Brockton elementary schools, Hancock's performance lags behind peers like Manthala George Junior School, Louis F. Angelo Elementary, and John F. Kennedy, which have higher MCAS proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Even nearby schools in the higher-performing Easton district, such as Richardson Olmsted School, outperform Hancock on state assessments.

While Hancock's high-need student population and increasing student-teacher ratio may contribute to its academic challenges, nearby schools with similar demographics, like South Elementary in Stoughton, have outperformed Hancock on MCAS assessments. The COVID-19 pandemic may have also had a disproportionate impact on the school's performance. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes at Hancock Elementary School.
