Summary:
The city of Mullins, South Carolina is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all of which are performing significantly below the state average on key metrics. The schools, which include Mullins High, North Mullins Primary, Palmetto Middle, and McCormick Elementary, are all part of the Marion 10 school district.
The data reveals that the schools in Mullins are struggling academically, with all four schools performing well below the state averages on standardized tests and ranking very low statewide. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics at Mullins High was just 31.58%, compared to the state average of 72.5%. Additionally, the schools have very low statewide rankings, with Mullins High ranking 221 out of 235 high schools, Palmetto Middle ranking 314 out of 325 middle schools, and McCormick Elementary ranking 614 out of 638 elementary schools in the state.
The data also indicates that the Mullins community faces significant economic challenges, with all four schools having 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty level likely contributes to the schools' poor academic performance. Additionally, the varying spending per student and student-teacher ratios suggest that there may be resource disparities between the schools, which could further impact their ability to provide a high-quality education to their students.
