Summary:
The city of Manning, South Carolina is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Clarendon 06 district. While the district's schools serve a diverse student population, they consistently underperform compared to state averages on standardized assessments, particularly in mathematics and certain subject areas at the secondary level.
Manning High School stands out with a relatively low free and reduced lunch rate, suggesting a more affluent student population. However, the school's proficiency rates on End of Course Exams (EOCEP) are significantly below the state average, especially in U.S. History. In contrast, Manning Junior High struggles with low proficiency rates in mathematics, with only 12.2% of 8th graders meeting state standards compared to the 30.2% state average.
The elementary and middle schools in Manning generally perform below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the SC READY assessments. This pattern of underperformance across the district raises concerns about equity and access to resources for disadvantaged students. While the schools have lower student-teacher ratios than the state average, the data highlights opportunities for the district to focus its efforts on improving student outcomes, particularly in the areas of mathematics and certain subject areas at the secondary level.
