Manning High

Summary:

Manning High is a public high school serving 807 students in grades 9-12 in Manning, South Carolina. The school is part of the Clarendon 06 school district, which is ranked 45 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Manning High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on end-of-course exams is generally below the state and district averages, except for English 2 where they perform better than the district but still below the state. Subgroup performance is also a concern, with Manning High ranking in the bottom half or bottom quarter of schools for most student subgroups, including female, male, African American, White, low socioeconomic status, and disabled students. Interestingly, the nearby East Clarendon Middle-High and Scott's Branch High generally perform better academically, but have significantly different student racial makeups.

Another notable aspect of Manning High is its student racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of African American students (62.7%) and a lower percentage of White students (28.87%) compared to the nearby schools. Additionally, Manning High has a very low percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 0.37%, which is significantly lower than the nearby schools. These stark differences in student demographics and academic performance between Manning High and the nearby schools suggest that factors beyond just the school itself, such as socioeconomic and community influences, may be playing a significant role in the school's 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.
