John Hancock Charter School

John Hancock Charter School serves 179 students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Pleasant Grove, Utah. It earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — with a 9.1 in academics and a 9.2 in growth. Those marks reflect both strong current performance and meaningful year-over-year student gains, not just a single strong cohort.

The comparative data tells a sharper story. Hancock ranks #19 out of 1,014 public schools in Utah, outperforming 98% of schools statewide. Among elementary schools specifically, it places 14th out of 600 — and within Pleasant Grove, it holds the top position out of 10 schools.

These rankings draw from the full competitive field, not a curated peer group. The school runs a student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which gives teachers real capacity to track individual students across a nine-grade span. A small enrollment of 179 keeps the environment manageable without the anonymity common in larger charter programs.

For families in Pleasant Grove weighing elementary options, Hancock leads the local field by a clear margin — and its statewide standing puts it among the strongest public schools in Utah regardless of type or size.

With an enrollment of 179 students, John Hancock Charter School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
