The district encompasses a diverse range of academic performance, with standout schools like A.C. Flora High and Dreher High ranking among the top in the state, while other schools struggle with persistent challenges in student achievement.

Dreher High and A.C. Flora High consistently rank in the top 100 high schools in South Carolina, with strong test scores and positive ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, schools like Lower Richland High, W.J. Keenan High, and C.A. Johnson High face significant challenges, with test scores well below the state average.
