Summary:
The McCormick 01 district in South Carolina is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing significantly below the state average on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.
Across the district, test scores are alarmingly low, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from just 31% to 41.2% at the middle school level, compared to the state average of 50.2% to 53.7%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates are even worse, ranging from only 5% to 11.7% at the middle school level, far below the state average of 30.2% to 38.4%. The McCormick High school also struggles, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra 1, English 1, and U.S. History ranging from 28.13% to 75.38%, all below the state averages.
The district's challenges extend beyond academics, as the schools serve a predominantly African American student population, with 72.61% to 79.08% of students identifying as such. Additionally, 100% of students across all three schools qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. While the district spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $17,893 to $23,012, the consistently low performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning. Overall, the data points to systemic issues that need to be addressed to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the McCormick 01 district.
