Oconee 01

Summary:

The Oconee 01 school district in South Carolina consists of 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 21 out of 75 in the state and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out as top performers. Walhalla High School consistently ranks in the top 25% of South Carolina high schools, with strong test scores and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate. Walhalla Middle School is also a top performer, ranking in the top 30% of South Carolina middle schools and boasting 100% proficiency in Algebra 1. Additionally, Keowee Elementary ranks in the top 30% of South Carolina elementary schools and has impressive English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates.

However, the district also exhibits significant achievement gaps, with the schools serving higher-poverty populations, such as James M. Brown Elementary, performing much lower than the top-performing schools. This suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes. While the Oconee 01 district as a whole is performing well compared to the state, there is still room for improvement, especially at the lower-performing schools, to address these achievement gaps.
