Summary:
The Lexington 02 district in South Carolina is home to two high schools: Airport High and Brookland-Cayce High. While both schools serve a diverse student population, they are underperforming compared to the state average, with Brookland-Cayce High showing slightly lower academic outcomes.
The data reveals that both schools have high rates of economic disadvantage, with free and reduced-price lunch rates exceeding 84%. Despite Lexington 02 district spending more per student at Brookland-Cayce High, the school's performance is still lagging behind the state average. Racial diversity does not appear to be a significant factor in the schools' academic performance, as both are underperforming across core subject areas like mathematics and English.
To address these challenges, the schools and district may benefit from targeted interventions and support focused on improving academic achievement and addressing the socioeconomic barriers faced by the student populations. Addressing the overall low performance of the Lexington 02 district could also be a key focus area for improving the outcomes at these high schools.
