Summary

Hanahan High in Hanahan, SC, serves approximately 1,061 students in grades 9-12 within the Berkeley 01 school district. The school is on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from a state rank of 120th to 61st in just two years and earning a 4-star rating—its highest in nearly a decade. With a graduation rate of 89.0% (above both district and state averages) and a dropout rate of just 0.9%, Hanahan is clearly heading in the right direction.

Hanahan's most impressive achievement is its exceptional performance with African American students, where it now ranks in the 88th percentile statewide—a remarkable 44-position jump in two years. The school also shows rapid improvement for students from low-income backgrounds (rising from the 42nd to 82nd percentile) and English Language Learners (from the 20th to 76th percentile). Academically, Hanahan shines in English, with 75.57% proficiency on English 1 and 85.56% on English 2—both well above state averages. However, Algebra 1 is a significant concern: only 31.04% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026, a sharp decline from 67.24% the previous year and far below the state average of 64.58%. Chronic absenteeism (27.2%) also exceeds state averages and could threaten future gains.

Compared to nearby schools, Hanahan outperforms Goose Creek High (same district, 4 miles away) across nearly every metric—higher graduation rate, lower chronic absenteeism, and better test scores in both English and Algebra. It also far surpasses North Charleston High (2.94 miles away), which struggles with a 79.1% graduation rate and 63.4% chronic absenteeism. While specialized magnet schools like Academic Magnet High achieve higher test scores, they serve selective student populations. Hanahan's per-student spending ($14,018) is notably lower than nearby Charleston County schools, suggesting efficient resource use. The school's main opportunities for growth are Algebra 1 instruction and addressing chronic absenteeism, but its overall momentum and equity-focused success make it a compelling choice for families.
