Summary

Hancock MiddleHigh School in Hancock, MI, is a combined middle and high school serving 292 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Hancock Public Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating.

This small school has shown remarkable improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 50th percentile to the 80th percentile in statewide rankings. What makes this particularly noteworthy is that Hancock serves a student population with higher economic disadvantage (40.4% free/reduced lunch) than nearby Houghton Central High School (22.7%) and Jeffers High School (31.9%), yet still achieves strong results. The school excels at serving its economically disadvantaged students, who now rank in the 82nd percentile statewide—a dramatic jump from the 31st percentile just two years prior. Hancock also stands out for its middle school math program: 7th graders show a 22-percentage-point improvement in math proficiency over their 6th-grade scores, far exceeding state averages. The school has also made impressive strides in reducing chronic absenteeism from 34.2% to 17.4% over three years, now better than nearby Calumet High School (30.4%).

However, Hancock faces a clear challenge in high school mathematics. While 11th graders score above the state average in reading (56.1% proficient), only 14.6% are proficient in math—a gap far wider than the state's own disparity. This contrasts sharply with the school's strong middle school math performance, suggesting gains made in 7th grade may not carry through to high school. The school's graduation rate has shown resilience, rebounding from a concerning 65.6% in 2021-2022 to 96.1% in 2023-2024, well above the state average. With a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and spending slightly below nearby Houghton Central High School, Hancock appears to use resources efficiently. While its proximity to the higher-ranked Houghton Central creates natural comparison, Hancock's ability to achieve strong results with a more economically diverse population makes it a compelling option for families in the area.
