Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29640


Summary:

The 29640 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, all part of the Pickens 01 school district, which is ranked 16th out of 75 districts in South Carolina and rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The standout schools in this area are Richard H. Gettys Middle and Dacusville Middle, both of which have consistently ranked in the top 30% of South Carolina middle schools for the past 3 years and boast exceptional proficiency rates in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2.

While the schools in this area generally perform well, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at or above the district and state averages, some elementary schools, such as Dacusville Elementary, Crosswell Elementary, and McKissick Academy of Science and Technology, face socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the schools are still delivering solid academic outcomes for their students.

The data also suggests that there are some areas for potential improvement, such as 7th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade Mathematics at Richard H. Gettys Middle, and 5th grade Mathematics at several elementary schools. Identifying and addressing these areas of lower performance could help the schools in the 29640 zip code area achieve even stronger overall academic results.
