Summary
Hannah Elementary is a K–4 public school with about 312 students in Beverly, MA, a coastal city north of Boston, and it operates within Beverly Public Schools — a district ranked 89th of 351 Massachusetts districts (75th percentile, 4 stars). In 2025–2026, Hannah Elementary ranked 281st of 899 elementary schools statewide (69th percentile, 3 stars). That is a step back from 2024–2025, when it reached 219th of 906 (76th percentile, 4 stars), though still well ahead of its 2021–2022 standing of 413th of 932 (56th percentile). Over the past decade, Hannah has generally been a 3-star school with one 4-star year.
Test scores remain above state averages in both subjects, but Hannah now trails its fellow Beverly elementary schools. Among same-district peers, Ayers/Ryal Side School, Centerville Elementary, North Beverly Elementary, and Cove Elementary all rank between the 77th and 84th percentiles with 4 stars, while Hannah is last of the five at the 69th percentile. Hannah's ELA proficiency of 52.38% is above the district (45.38%) and the state (40.03%), but its math proficiency of 50.0% is slightly below the district (51.17%) and 8.5 to 17.1 points behind those Beverly peers, whose math results range from 58.52% to 67.08%. By grade, third-grade ELA is above district and state, while fourth-grade ELA falls below the district and below every same-district Beverly peer; math is below the district at both grade levels.
Subgroup results are uneven. Male students rank at the 89th percentile, while female students sit at the 41st and low-SES students at the 30th — a sharp drop from 74th the year before; special education students improved from the 39th to the 51st percentile. These measures describe the school's relative effectiveness with each group and can swing year to year. Resources look favorable: a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, better than most nearby schools, and per-student spending of $14,798 (2020–2021), typical for Beverly but below nearby Danvers and Salem. Across the wider area, Hannah outpaces most Salem and Danvers schools in ELA, is roughly comparable to Willis E Thorpe in math, and sits below Bessie Buker Elementary in Hamilton-Wenham.
