Summary:
The 29206 zip code area in South Carolina is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, spread across two different school districts - Richland 01 and Richland 02. While the schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with most having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, some schools in this area stand out for their exceptional academic performance.
Brockman Elementary is consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a 5-star rating and over 90% proficiency in English Language Arts across grades 3-5. Crayton Middle is also a high performer, ranking in the top 50 middle schools in the state and boasting strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts. Another top-performing school is Satchel Ford Elementary, which ranks in the top 100 elementary schools in the state and has excellent English Language Arts scores.
In contrast, the two middle schools in the area have very different performance levels, with Dent Middle ranking in the bottom half of the state, while Crayton Middle is a top performer. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status, such as school leadership and instructional practices, play a significant role in student outcomes. The data also highlights the importance of considering multiple factors, including resource allocation and disaggregated test scores, to understand and improve student performance in this area.
