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.

Being at Hancock High School is like being considered part of a family they consider everyone's needs and aim to have a fun experience for everyone when events come around. My mom joined the staff and just feels the same way when it comes to this school all three of my brothers graduated here and wouldn't want to go to any other school so Hawk Pride!

Somethings that I like about Hancock is that we are one big family and the staff is really nice. Somethings I would like to see changed is dress code. I wish we had free dress.

My experience at Hancock High school has not been a terrible one. The teachers are excellent and very understanding, the administration is always happy to help, and there is never a dull moment even if Covid-19 has squandered some of the big events that they would've normally had through out the year. It was a wonderful stay here with very minor issues.
