Summary

Hanahan Middle in Hanahan, SC, serves 799 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Berkeley 01 school district, which holds a 3-star rating statewide.

Hanahan Middle currently holds a 3-star rating, ranking 158th out of 335 South Carolina middle schools (53rd percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. This places it in the middle of the pack statewide, but the school's trajectory is concerning. Over the past decade, Hanahan Middle has experienced a steady decline from a 5-star institution ranking in the 90th percentile in 2016-2017 to its current 3-star status. The school's clear academic strength is mathematics, where it outperforms both district and state averages across all grade levels. In 6th grade, 44.3% of students are proficient in math (vs. 37.8% district, 40.9% state), and in 7th grade, 44.4% are proficient (vs. 35.4% district, 41.8% state). The school's Algebra 1 EOCEP pass rate is a perfect 100%, dramatically exceeding the district (65.63%) and state (73.95%) averages. English Language Arts performance is more mixed, generally on par with or slightly below state averages. Compared to nearby schools, Hanahan Middle significantly outperforms College Park Middle (rank 281), Sedgefield Middle (rank 294), and Northwoods Middle (rank 320), but lags behind Marrington Middle School of the Arts (rank 24), a magnet school in its own district.

Several challenges warrant attention. The school's support for Disabled Students has plummeted from an 80th percentile ranking in 2023-2024 to a 41st percentile ranking in 2025-2026, and support for Low Socio-Economic Status students has declined from the 70th to the 52nd percentile over the same period. Chronic absenteeism affects 22.2% of students, on par with the state average but still impacting nearly a quarter of the student body. Hanahan Middle spends $12,716 per student, lower than most nearby peers, and has a higher student-teacher ratio of 17:1 compared to 15.4:1 at Marrington and 13:1 at River Oaks Middle. While Hanahan remains a relatively stable option in a challenging local landscape, these trends suggest the school is at a critical juncture that will require targeted investments to reverse its decade-long decline.

Warning parents do not send your children to this school it is a military institution for middle school age children. They rule their classrooms by fear, threats, and intimidation. Close Quote
