Summary

T. L. Hanna High is a large public high school in Anderson, SC, serving 1,899 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Anderson 05 school district. The school has built a solid reputation over the past decade, consistently earning 4-star ratings and ranking 64th in the state (74th percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year.

If you're looking at T. L. Hanna, you'll find a school with real strengths in English and U.S. History. In 2025-2026, 86.54% of students scored proficient on the English 2 exam, beating both the district (79.48%) and state (83.79%) averages. U.S. History proficiency hit 73.44%, a nearly 11-point advantage over the state average. The school also shines when it comes to keeping students on track—the 90.5% graduation rate in 2024-2025 outpaces the district (85.4%) and state (86.7%), and the dropout rate of 1.6% is about half the district's rate. Within the district, T. L. Hanna is clearly the academic leader compared to Westside High, which ranks 195th in the state and trails by 11 points in graduation rate and 15 points in English 2 proficiency.

That said, there are a few things to keep in mind. Algebra 1 proficiency (72.32% in 2024-2025) falls below both district and state averages, and nearby schools like Palmetto High (96.32%) and Wren High (95.8%) perform much better in math. Wren, located just 11.5 miles away in the higher-ranked Anderson 01 district, also outpaces T. L. Hanna in graduation rate (96.6% vs. 90.5%) and English proficiency. T. L. Hanna does have a lower chronic absenteeism rate (21.0%) than Wren (26.4%), which is a positive sign for student engagement. The school also faces equity challenges—while White and Female students rank in the 80th percentile statewide, outcomes for African American, Disabled, and Multi-racial students have declined recently, and Gifted and Talented students have received a 1-star rating for three consecutive years, suggesting the school may not be adequately challenging its highest-achieving learners.
