Hancock - School Report Card 2020

We welcome you and your family to the Hancock School for the school year.

The Hancock School works together with families and the community to provide a strong foundation upon which our children can build the skills and knowledge necessary to prepare them for wherever the world leads them. Our dedicated faculty work tirelessly to create a learning environment filled with respect, love, honesty, and high expectations for academic achievement.

Equally critical to our children’s success is the dedicated participation of our students’ families. We invite you to partner with us on this year’s journey to foster academic growth and the development of personal and social responsibility in the lives of our students.

In addition to opportunities for family involvement, we provide exemplary regular education instruction, school-wide Title One support, special education, extended day programs and other activities to ensure success for all learners.

Hancock 2012-2014 School Improvement Plan

Every Brockton Public School has an individual School Improvement Plan, a two‐year strategic plan for schools to follow to achieve academic and non-academic goals. The plans are developed among school leadership, faculty and staff and serve as a blueprint for success.

School Improvement plans require school personnel to set challenging goals for student performance, and must articulate the strategies the school staff will use to reach their targets.

In addition to approving each school’s SIP, Central Office conducts three to four “Walk Throughs” per school per year to gather data and provide feedback to site-level leaders about how effectively the plans are being implemented. What’s exciting about this is that everyone recognizes the importance of this kind of feedback and is actively supporting this kind of valuable work – principals, teachers, administrators and union officials.
