The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students compared to African American and White students.
Dorman High faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students (74.68%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Boiling Springs High (59.75%) and James F. Byrnes High (55.75%). Additionally, the school's spending per student has decreased over the past few years, from $11,038 in 2020-2021 to $9,692 in 2022-2023, which is lower than the spending at some nearby schools. These factors, combined with the school's declining academic performance and achievement gaps among student subgroups, suggest that Dorman High faces significant challenges that require a comprehensive approach to address and improve student outcomes.
