Summary

Lincoln-Hancock Community School is a K–4 elementary school in Quincy, MA, serving 565 students — the largest enrollment among the nearby Quincy and Braintree schools it is usually compared with. In 2025–26 it ranked 568 of 899 elementary schools statewide (37th percentile, 2 stars), while its district, Quincy, ranked 183 of 351 (48th percentile, 2 stars).

On the 2025–26 state tests, all-grades English language arts proficiency was 31.86%, roughly 11 points below the Quincy district (42.85%) and 8 points below the state (40.03%). Math was 39.22%, closer to the district (43.03%) and state (41.11%). Among nearby Quincy schools, Wollaston School (89th percentile, 4 stars), Beechwood Knoll Elementary (77th, 4 stars), Montclair (74th, 4 stars), Merrymount (62nd, 3 stars) and Charles A Bernazzani Elementary (59th, 3 stars) all post higher proficiency. The closest same-district match is Clifford H Marshall Elementary (43rd percentile, 2 stars). Braintree schools also score higher, and the Braintree district ranks far higher overall (77th percentile, 4 stars).

The clearest bright spot is English learner programming: English language learner students ranked at the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–26 and 79th (4 stars) in 2024–25, well above the school's overall standing. Special education students ranked 18th percentile in 2025–26, down from 74th in 2021–22, a shift worth asking about. Fourth-grade ELA is the sharpest academic weak point at 23.47%, versus 36.12% district and 37.43% state, while fourth-grade math is at district level. Rankings have slipped over several years — from 21st percentile in 2015–16 to 63rd in 2016–17, and back to 37th now, with 2 stars since 2021–22. Note that Dr. Rick DeCristofaro Learning Center is a PK–8 school reporting 0% proficiency and is not a typical K–4/K–5 comparison.
