The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

T.L . Hanna isn't really a bad school. It has some things about it I feel like should be changed like the new phone rule(I know it's a state law but still), 5 minute bathroom passes, and some teachers and administrators I don't really like. Other than that I think the education system is good and I have made some friends through my 4 years of high school. Sports, classes, and small activities got me and others closer throughout the school year. i would say my overall experience with the school is good.

I have three children that attended and graduated from this school. In addition, I taught here in the same school district. My advice depends on the type of student your child is. If your child is above average and college bound...by all means...this is the better school in Anderson. Conversely, if...
