Summary:
The Rock Hills Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Rock Hills area. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 92nd out of 327 schools in 2022-2023 and 203rd out of 318 schools in 2023-2024.
Academically, the school's test scores are mixed, with some grades and subjects performing above the state average, while others are significantly below. For example, 10th-grade students scored 17.38% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the 27.57% state average, but 10th-grade math proficiency was 29.16%, exceeding the 21.31% state average. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 54.3% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it appears to have a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average. This suggests the school is investing resources in areas that have not yet translated to improved student outcomes. Further investigation into the school's specific programs, teaching practices, and resource allocation could help identify areas for improvement and strategies to better support student success.
