Summary:

The 29039 zip code area is home to two public schools - Edisto High School, a high school serving grades 9-12, and Edisto Primary School, an elementary school serving grades PK-2. Both schools serve a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Edisto High School has struggled academically, ranking 207 out of 235 high schools in Orangeburg and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 39.77% to 73.7%. In contrast, Edisto Primary School does not have any historical ranking or rating information available, making it difficult to assess its long-term performance.

Both schools have a high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While Edisto Primary School has a higher spending per student ($14,791) compared to Edisto High School ($12,600), it's unclear if this additional funding is translating into improved academic outcomes. The student-teacher ratios at both schools are slightly lower than the state average, but the data suggests that the schools in the 29039 zip code area face significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and economic disadvantage.
