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.

Hancock High School was overall decent. There were friendly teachers and staff, and the education I received there was good. Some problems were how strict and plainly stupid some rules were. Also, the food was mediocre.

Covid-19 has hit and has caused some of us students to take online classes. Online courses can become challenging if we are not sure of what to do and how to complete homework assignments. I am currently struggling with my math course because I am a visual learner. At the same time, I can not risk going to school, because there have been positive cases for Covid-19.

I truly loved Hancock high. The school had a wonderful atmosphere and there is always something to get involved with and something to be apart of. It is my home and I will miss it forever. The teachers are truly the most inspiring people and try so hard to make every one feel happy and welcomed.
Although the teachers are generally knowledgeable and enthusiastic, this school has administration issues which need to be sorted before this school can be a viable option. Houghton is nearby and has better facilites and (generally better) learning opportunities for students.
I've never been here as a student, but I've always had a lot of respect for this school. They are all very friendly and good sports whether they lose or win. The school looks really nice and even offers their students a chance at a scholarship to Finlandia, the nearby college.
