Summary:
There is only one middle school located in Hancock Place, Missouri - Hancock Place Middle School. This public school serves grades 6-8 and has a total enrollment of 251 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, it is facing significant academic challenges, with students performing well below the state average in core subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts across all grade levels.
Hancock Place Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 235 out of 451 schools in 2023-2024 to 336 out of 438 schools in 2024-2025. The school is currently ranked 206 out of 367 middle schools in Missouri and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. One area of concern is the high rate of chronic absenteeism, with 25.3% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's academic struggles, it is spending a relatively high amount per student at $14,591 per student. This raises questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation and the need for a closer examination of how funds are being utilized to support student learning. Additionally, the school serves a high-need student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may require additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
