Schools in Zip Code 29410

Zip code 29410 serves the Hanahan community in Berkeley County, South Carolina, with four public schools—two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—totaling 3,583 students within the Berkeley 01 district.

Bowen's Corner Elementary is the standout performer in this area, ranking in the top 20% of elementary schools statewide with proficiency rates 10-20 points above state averages in every subject. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 11.2% is less than half the district average, and it achieves these results with the lowest per-student spending ($12,345) and smallest class sizes (15.9:1 ratio). In contrast, Hanahan Elementary ranks in the bottom half of the state (38th percentile) and struggles particularly in math—5th grade proficiency is just 34.2% versus 49.1% statewide. The gap between these two elementary schools is striking: Bowen's Corner outperforms Hanahan Elementary by roughly 20 percentage points in both ELA and math across all grade levels.

Hanahan Middle serves as a stabilizing force, exceeding district averages in 6th and 7th grade math while performing near district levels in ELA. Hanahan High shows strong upward momentum, climbing from 120th to 61st in state rankings over three years with an 89% graduation rate and excellent English scores (85.6% proficiency). However, the high school faces a math crisis—Algebra 1 proficiency dropped to just 31.0%, less than half the state average of 64.6%, despite the middle school achieving a 100% Algebra 1 pass rate. Chronic absenteeism also varies dramatically, from 11.2% at Bowen's Corner to 27.2% at Hanahan High. The most actionable insight: if Hanahan Elementary could replicate even half of Bowen's Corner's success, the entire feeder pattern through middle and high school would be transformed.
