Newberry High has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (45.64%) and Hispanic (28.93%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Course (EOCEP) exam proficiency rates, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Newberry High's proficiency rates were 42.25% in English 1, 43.26% in U.S. History, and 71.89% in Algebra 1/Mathematics, compared to the district's 51.59%, 51.65%, and 81.45%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and Disabled students, is also lower compared to the state averages for those subgroups. Newberry High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina high schools, with a ranking of 192 out of 235 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Interestingly, Newberry High's academic performance has generally declined over the past few years, with some exceptions. The nearby schools, such as Whitmire Community School (High) and Mid-Carolina High, generally outperform Newberry High in academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Additionally, Newberry High's spending per student has increased from $12,270 in 2019-2020 to $13,266 in 2022-2023, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio has also increased from 13.1 in 2020-2021 to 17 in 2022-2023, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
