Coastal High School

Summary:

Coastal High School is a public charter high school in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, serving 207 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Horry 01 district. While the school has a higher percentage of White students compared to nearby schools, it ranks lower than top-performing local schools like HCS Early College High and HCS Scholars Academy High in terms of overall performance and student group outcomes.

Coastal High School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra 1/Mathematics and English 1. The school also has a relatively high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 43.48%, which is higher than Palmetto Academy of Learning Motorsports (PALM) but lower than Myrtle Beach High. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the unique challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Additionally, Coastal High School's lower performance for White students and low socioeconomic status students indicates that the school may need to examine potential racial and socioeconomic disparities in its practices and policies. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, the school has the potential to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. To improve overall student outcomes, Coastal High School may need to closely examine its curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems, and collaborate with the community to address the specific needs of its diverse student population.

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.
