Summary:
The Hancock Central School District in New York is home to a single high school, Hancock Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. While the school has some areas of strength, such as high proficiency rates on certain Regents exams, it generally underperforms compared to state averages on standardized tests and has relatively low graduation rates.
Hancock Junior-Senior High School had a 84.3% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is lower than the state average. The school also had a high 4.5% dropout rate and a significantly elevated 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the district and state averages, while others are well below. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 36.36% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 56.61%. However, the school had 100% proficiency in Regents Algebra II and Physics.
Despite the school's high spending of $38,697 per student and low student-teacher ratio of 7.6, which is lower than the state average, the data suggests that Hancock Junior-Senior High School is a struggling school that is underperforming compared to state averages on several key metrics. The school's declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates are areas of concern that the district and school leadership should address to improve student outcomes.
