GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The sport programs through West Hancock have been successful and you are able to build a real bond with the teachers since it is a small school.

Too much emphasis on sports. Intellectual students not valued. Music department is deplorable. Thank goodness for a fine public library in the community.
