Summary:
The 29148 zip code area is home to 3 public schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all of which are part of the Clarendon 06 district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as none of the schools in this area appear to be performing well academically.
Across the board, the test scores at Scott's Branch High, Scott's Branch Middle, and Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary fall significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates in many subjects and grade levels 10-20 percentage points lower than the state. The schools' statewide rankings are also quite low, with Scott's Branch High ranking 218 out of 235 high schools, Scott's Branch Middle ranking 255 out of 325 middle schools, and Dr. Rose H. Wilder Elementary ranking 382 out of 638 elementary schools.
Interestingly, the free and reduced lunch rates at these schools are relatively low, suggesting the community may have a higher socioeconomic status. However, the consistently poor academic performance across all three schools indicates that factors beyond just socioeconomic status are contributing to the challenges. The student population is also heavily skewed towards African American students, raising questions about equity and access to quality education in the area. Addressing these systemic issues will require targeted interventions and a comprehensive, data-driven approach to support the schools and the community they serve.
