Summary:
The 29574 zip code area is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this area are struggling academically, with consistently low performance on standardized tests compared to state averages.
Mullins High School and Palmetto Middle School have particularly low statewide rankings and test scores that fall well below state averages. Both schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the two elementary schools, North Mullins Primary and McCormick Elementary, also have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, but their academic performance is slightly better than the middle and high schools.
Across all the schools in the 29574 zip code area, there is a high concentration of African American students, ranging from 68% to 72% of the student population. The schools also have low spending per student, with the highest being $15,735 at North Mullins Primary. These factors, combined with the consistently low academic performance, suggest that the schools in this area may require targeted interventions and additional support to address the unique challenges faced by their student populations and improve educational outcomes.
