Summary

Hanna Early College High School in Brownsville, TX, is a large comprehensive high school serving over 2,000 students in grades 9-12 within the Brownsville Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds.

Hanna stands out for its exceptional support of students who often face the biggest challenges. The school ranks in the 86th percentile statewide for its Special Education students and the 77th percentile for students from low-income families—both significantly higher than its overall ranking. This is a genuine strength that sets it apart from nearby schools like Pace Early College High School and Porter Early College High School. However, the school struggles to challenge its Gifted and Talented students, ranking in the bottom 16th percentile statewide. Additionally, while English II Reading scores consistently beat state and district averages, English I Reading scores lag behind, suggesting a possible curriculum gap in the 9th-grade year that gets resolved by 10th grade.

While Hanna is a solid, reliable performer, it faces some notable challenges. Its dropout rate has risen to 1.8%, the highest among its immediate district peers and well above the district average of 0.5%. The "Early College" label can be confusing here—Brownsville Early College High School is a small, elite magnet school with a 5-star rating, while Hanna, Pace, and Porter are much larger, comprehensive programs. Hanna sits in the middle of this pack, outperforming Porter but trailing Pace. Interestingly, spending doesn't predict success: Brownsville Early College spends significantly less per student (~$8,600) while achieving far better results, while Porter spends the most (~$12,500) with the lowest performance of the three.
