Best Public Schools in Bennettsville, SC


Summary:

The city of Bennettsville, South Carolina is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Marlboro County High, Bennettsville Primary, and Bennettsville Intermediate. Unfortunately, the data suggests these schools are struggling academically, with all three performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests and ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types.

The schools in Bennettsville serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The student population is also predominantly African American, ranging from 62.66% at Marlboro County High to 79.11% at Bennettsville Intermediate. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools are not achieving strong academic results, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student outcomes.

Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in Bennettsville. The consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and lack of standout schools suggest that the Marlboro 01 district may need to implement significant changes and interventions to improve the quality of education for its students.
