Summary:

North Hancock Elementary School is a public elementary school in Lewisport, Kentucky, serving 472 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hancock County School District. While the district is ranked 54 out of 159 in Kentucky, North Hancock Elementary has consistently performed in the middle to lower range of Kentucky elementary schools over the past decade, with proficiency rates below the county and state averages in subjects like math and reading.

North Hancock's academic performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students, white students, and students from low-income backgrounds tending to perform the lowest. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, but its student-teacher ratio of around 15 students per teacher has remained relatively stable. Interestingly, nearby schools like South Hancock Elementary and Foust Elementary outperform North Hancock on academic measures, despite serving higher percentages of students from low-income families.

The high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds at North Hancock Elementary, around 60%, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments has remained relatively stagnant over the past few years, with proficiency rates in the 30-50% range across various subjects and grade levels. Addressing these socioeconomic and academic disparities could be key focus areas for the school and Hancock County School District to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
