Dorman High

Summary:

Dorman High is a public high school located in Roebuck, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 3,808 students. The school is part of the Spartanburg 06 school district, which is ranked 40 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dorman High has a relatively diverse student population, with 36.74% White, 32.56% African American, and 21.53% Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Course Exams (EOCEP), is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Dorman High's proficiency rates were 72.77% in Algebra 1/Mathematics, 55.12% in English 1, 43% in U.S. History, and 80.83% in English 2, compared to the state averages of 72.5%, 62.89%, 58.77%, and 85.83%, respectively. 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.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
