Summary

Hanahan Elementary is a public elementary school serving 998 students in grades PK-5 in Hanahan, South Carolina, which is part of the Berkeley 01 school district. While the district is ranked 36 out of 75 in the state, Hanahan Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to state and district averages.

Hanahan Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 49% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 59.2% for the district and 61.8% for the state. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.7% to 33.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Hanahan Elementary's student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and White students, have generally lower rankings compared to their peers statewide.

When compared to nearby schools, Hanahan Elementary's performance lags behind schools like Goose Creek Elementary and Mount Holly Elementary within the Berkeley 01 district. The school also performs significantly lower than schools in the neighboring Charleston 01 district, such as A.C. Corcoran Elementary, Matilda F. Dunston Elementary, and Pepperhill Elementary, despite serving similar student populations. However, Hanahan Elementary's gifted and talented program is relatively strong, and its multi-racial student subgroup has performed well, ranking 1 out of 10 South Carolina elementary schools in 2022-2023.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Saturday, February 3, 2018

I am appalled to say that I am a former employee of Hanahan Elementary School. The school has gotten so massive that the administration has no idea what is going on within the classroom walls.

There is a major lack of communication, which causes confusion among teachers when it comes to basics such as dismissal times, homework requirements, grading policies, and student rewards. Some teachers believe they are required to assign a worksheet for homework each night, while others never assign written homework.

Instead of asking for clarity, the teachers have resorted to gossiping amongst themselves as to what they believe the policies are. It is terrible feeling when even the most tenured educators are afraid to confront the administration for these answers.

I would not recommend this school to prospective teachers or to parents of prospective students. Close Quote
