For example, in 2024-2025, 61.8% of 6th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 45.5%. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.5% to 26.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Monroe City Middle (13.4%) and Palmyra Middle (11.3%). Hannibal Middle also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.93% to 61.43% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby Mark Twain Junior High (30.77%) and Palmyra Middle (33.72%).

Despite the challenges of serving a high-needs student population, Hannibal Middle has maintained a consistent level of academic performance, with a steady increase in spending per student, from $8,409 in 2018-2019 to $11,452 in 2021-2022. This is higher than the nearby Monroe City Middle ($10,064) and Mark Twain Junior High ($8,988). Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and continuing to support the academic growth of all student subgroups could be key focus areas for the school and Hannibal 60 district moving forward.
