Summary

Hannan Elementary in Columbus, GA, serves approximately 322 students in grades K-5 as part of the Muscogee County School District, with all students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Hannan Elementary currently holds a 1-star rating and ranks in the 17th percentile statewide—a decline from its 2-star ratings in the previous two years and a notable drop from its peak performance in 2016-2017 when it ranked in the 77th percentile. Despite this overall trend, there are encouraging signs. The school showed remarkable improvement in 3rd grade math, jumping from 16.7% to 34.7% proficiency in one year—now exceeding the district average. Hannan also outperforms most of its immediate neighbors, ranking ahead of Rigdon Road Elementary, River Road Elementary, Allen Elementary, Davis Elementary, Johnson Elementary, Fox Elementary, and Wynnton Elementary. Only Downtown Elementary Magnet Academy and Clubview Elementary rank substantially higher in the area.

The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.5:1 and spends approximately $19,254 per student—the highest among nearby schools, including those achieving better results. Hannan has also shown strong 5th grade performance in recent years, with proficiency rates exceeding district averages in math, science, and English Language Arts. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 26.2% to 22.0%, though it remains above state averages. The school demonstrates notably stronger outcomes for female students compared to male students, and its African American students rank in the 39th percentile statewide—higher than the school's overall ranking. With strong resources, recent math gains, and a history of excellent 5th grade results, Hannan shows potential for reversing its downward trajectory.
