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.

At Hancock, I found many friends who helped me when I was struggling in my academic life. The teachers were there for me to help me understand and were always supportive throughout my time there. The schools food could be better. I often remember feeling like their portion sizes were not large enough for a growing body. I do believe that the faculty and administrators have the students best interests at heart and I never felt out of place at Hancock.

This school seems to be truely set on holding students back - there is no dual enrollment program nor do I know anyone who has gain employment witha career tech certification from this school. While there jas always been a band, the school just {re}established a choir/music program. Teachers are great and truely try to make education interesting. The administration and district office are horrible!!!
