Best Public Schools in Zip Code 13783

Summary:

The 13783 zip code area is home to two schools, Hancock Junior-Senior High School and Hancock Elementary School, both part of the Hancock Central School District. Unfortunately, the data suggests these schools are performing below average compared to state-wide standards, with both institutions struggling to meet academic benchmarks.

At the high school level, Hancock Junior-Senior High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a dropout rate of 4.5%, both of which are concerning. The school's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and math proficiency also fall short of state averages across grades 5-8. Similarly, the school's Regents exam pass rates are below state levels in most subjects. The high school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% may be contributing to these academic challenges.

The performance at Hancock Elementary School is also cause for concern, with ELA and math proficiency rates ranging from 27.27% to 50%, generally below state averages. The 4th-grade math proficiency rate of just 18.75% is particularly alarming, well below the state average of 58.64%. Despite the high per-student spending at both schools, the academic outcomes suggest the district and its schools have significant room for improvement to provide a quality education to their students.
