Considering there are 30 children in my child`s classroom, Hancock is a great school. The Principal, Mr. Shaw, is hands on and very approachable. We are moving out of town and hope the new school is as exceptional as Hancock.

This school is TERRIBLE. Some teachers think it is alright to physically TOUCH students. They take every occasion possible to humiliate you. They keep tabs on kids, whether they are good or bad, etc. They send these files to the teachers for next year. They are two-faced and terrible. Do not send your child to this school, save them a lifetime of regret that they weren't able to do anything.
