Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29576


Summary:

The 29576 zip code area is home to two schools - St. James High School and Seaside Elementary School, both part of the Horry 01 district. While both schools are performing well, St. James High School stands out as a particularly strong performer, consistently ranking among the top high schools in South Carolina.

St. James High School has received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and has been ranked 23rd out of 235 high schools in the state for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance is impressive, with high proficiency rates on end-of-course exams that exceed both the district and state averages. In contrast, Seaside Elementary, while still performing well, does not stand out as strongly, with a 4-star rating and a ranking of 78th out of 638 elementary schools in the state.

Both schools have similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and community engagement, may be contributing to the differences in academic performance. Additionally, the demographic differences between the two schools, with St. James High having a more diverse student population, may also play a role in the observed academic outcomes.
