School Reviews
| 5 Hanahan is a wonderful school and I enjoy it. - Posted by Student/Alumni - luke |
| 2 Education quality is great. It is the teacher/staff/parent coordnation of issues. Policies for students that are not enforced properly. Rude staff that don't help you in the least bit to solve a problem. - Posted by Parent - demon |
