Summary:
The 29506 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. While the elementary schools generally perform well on state assessments, with Henry Timrod Elementary and Theodore Lester Elementary standing out, the lone high school, Wilson High, has more mixed results. All schools in the area serve a student population facing significant economic challenges, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the elementary schools, Theodore Lester Elementary has the lowest statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, but its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the Florence 01 district and state averages. In contrast, Henry Timrod Elementary has a higher 2-star rating and its test scores also exceed district and state benchmarks. As the only high school in the area, Wilson High has a 2-star rating, with its EOCEP test scores in subjects like Algebra 1, English 1, and U.S. History showing a mix of above and below-average performance compared to the district and state.
The data suggests that while the elementary schools in the 29506 zip code area are performing relatively well, the high school and some of the lower-ranked elementary schools may require additional support and resources to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education. The high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools indicate that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the variations in academic performance observed in the data.
