Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29536


Summary:

The 29536 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Dillon 04 school district. While the district is ranked 66 out of 75 in South Carolina and has a 1-star rating, there are some standout schools worth highlighting.

Stewart Heights Elementary stands out for its impressive proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts (50.8%) and Mathematics (65.6%), significantly exceeding the district and state averages. This is particularly noteworthy given the school's high percentage of African American students (75.57%) and 100% free/reduced lunch rate. Meanwhile, Dillon Middle boasts an exceptional 96.3% proficiency rate in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, far surpassing the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals stark disparities in academic performance across the schools, with some struggling to meet state standards in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and U.S. History. The high concentration of economically disadvantaged students (100% free/reduced lunch) across all the schools raises concerns about equity and access to resources. While the schools face significant challenges, identifying and replicating the successful practices of the higher-performing schools could be a valuable strategy to improve overall student outcomes in the 29536 zip code area.
