Hanahan Middle

Summary:

Hanahan Middle is a public middle school in Hanahan, South Carolina, serving 793 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 school district, which is ranked 37 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hanahan Middle consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in EOCEP/Algebra 1 and SC READY/English Language Arts. For the 2023-2024 school year, 98.87% of Hanahan Middle students were proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1, compared to 66.37% for the district and 72.5% for the state. In SC READY/English Language Arts, Hanahan Middle's proficiency rates ranged from 47.1% to 58.6% across grades 6-8, outpacing the district and state averages. The school's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 50.57% White, 12.36% African American, and 23.46% Hispanic, stands out from the more homogeneous nearby schools like River Oaks Middle and Philip Simmons Middle.

However, Hanahan Middle faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps for its African American and Hispanic student populations, as well as its English Language Learner (ELL) students, who perform lower compared to other subgroups. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, from 32nd in 2013-2014 to 122nd in the current 2023-2024 school year, suggesting the need to investigate the underlying factors contributing to this trend. With a significant population of students from low-income households, as indicated by the 39.34% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Hanahan Middle must also consider the impact of socioeconomic factors and resource allocation on its students' success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
