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.

My experience in Hancock has been amazing so far. All the teachers are amazing and value building personal connections with students. I have learned and developed significantly from my years at Hancock and couldn't ask for a better school.
4.0 Freshman

I think that Hancock prepares students for college very well and is a very safe option for any incoming freshman. The staff are also very welcoming and friendly. Although they have these traits, they will make sure you complete everything necessary to succeed.
