Posted by a parent on 9/19/2025I have been teaching at this school for many years. This school is more like a community than like a building. I honestly love coming into my classroom everyday.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had an excellent experience with this school for my children. Growing up I always heard bad things about it and it carries a stigma for being a low-income school but it tests better and rates better than most others in the area. The teachers are well-trained and compassionate. They offer free breakfast and lunch to all students among many other programs offered to help children in their community. Hancock teaches my gifted child in a challenging, encouraging manner. I can't say enough great things about them.Parent Review6y ago - St Mark School
