Summary:
The city of Pamplico, South Carolina is home to two schools: Hannah-Pamplico Elementary/Middle (serving grades PK-8) and Hannah Pamplico High (serving grades 9-12). These schools, part of the Florence 02 district, serve a diverse student population with varying academic performance and resource needs.
Hannah-Pamplico Elementary/Middle has a large student enrollment of 761 but consistently ranks in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with below-average test scores, particularly in mathematics. However, the school serves a high-need student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Hannah Pamplico High performs better, ranking in the middle of South Carolina high schools, with some subject areas exceeding state and district averages, such as Algebra 1 and English 1.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools, with the high school spending more per student ($13,357) compared to the elementary/middle school ($12,163). This funding distribution and the schools' differing student populations may contribute to the performance gap. Overall, the Pamplico schools face unique challenges, but also present opportunities for targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success across all grade levels.
