Summary:
The city of Dillon, South Carolina is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges, with low statewide rankings, below-average test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
While a few schools stand out, such as Dillon Middle School, which had the highest proficiency rates in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, and Stewart Heights Elementary, which had the highest 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the overall performance of the Dillon 04 district suggests a need for comprehensive improvement strategies. All 5 schools have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district.
The data also reveals potential racial disparities, with some schools having a higher percentage of African American students compared to others. Additionally, the statewide school ranking history shows a trend of declining performance for most schools, highlighting the need for the district to address the underlying issues and inequities that are impacting student outcomes.
