Wildwood Elementary School is a strong academic performer, exceeding the Sumter district and state averages in 3rd grade ELA and Math proficiency. Despite its 2-star rating, the school's diverse student population and solid test scores suggest its performance may not be fully captured by the rating system. In contrast, Wildwood Middle/High School excels in Civics and US History but struggles in other subject areas, though it maintains an impressive 97.9% 4-year graduation rate.
The area's alternative school, Sumter Prep Academy, faces significant challenges, with a 0% 4-year graduation rate and high chronic absenteeism. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 may be a strength in providing more individualized attention to its students. Overall, the schools in the 34785 zip code area demonstrate a range of strengths and weaknesses, highlighting the need for tailored support and resources to address the unique needs of each institution.
