Summary:
The 29160 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Sandy Run School, Sandhills Primary, and Sandhills Elementary) and 1 high school (Swansea High). The schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high poverty levels among their student populations.
Swansea High stands out as the only high school in the 29160 zip code, but it has a relatively low statewide ranking and test scores that are significantly below the state averages. Similarly, Sandy Run School, the only school serving grades PK-8, also has a low statewide ranking and test scores that are generally below the state and district averages. Both schools have a high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
The schools in the 29160 zip code area have a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. However, there are potential equity concerns, as some schools have a higher percentage of minority students compared to others. Additionally, the schools in this area have similar spending per student and student-teacher ratios, suggesting that the low academic performance may be due to factors beyond just resource allocation. These findings suggest that the schools in the 29160 zip code area may require additional support and resources to address the challenges they are facing and improve educational outcomes for their students.
