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.

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 the Hancock County Public School District was great overall. Hancock County High School was no different. There were plenty of career opportunities, extra curricular, and co curricular activities available. The business department is great I felt well prepared for college.

It's a small community that is always there for one another. The kids in school try hard and we are expected to do are best at all times.

I really like how the school is so small. As a student, I know pretty much every one at the school and have a connection with them. That is what makes Hancock County so special.

To be fair, the teachers are great. Its just that students are pushed to attend community college, where subsequently most of them teach at. And by push, I mean they actually advise students who make private school level grades to go there instead. Students aren't given many college talks, about how...
