Hancock Junior-Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 453 out of 519 high schools in 2020-2021 (1-star rating) to 555 out of 1,228 high schools in 2022-2023 (3-star rating).

Hancock's student performance on state assessments has been mixed, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade students performed well in science and math but struggled in English Language Arts, while Deposit Middle-Senior High School had stronger performance in 8th-grade ELA and math.

Hancock Junior-Senior High School has also faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.6% to 34.1% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average and the 31.5% rate at Deposit Middle-Senior High School. Despite the school's increased per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, its performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that simply increasing resources may not be enough to drive meaningful change. By addressing these issues and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Hancock Junior-Senior High School can work to provide a better educational experience for its students.
