Summary:
The 29692 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Greenwood 51 school district. While Ware Shoals Elementary Middle stands out as the strongest performer, the other two schools, Ware Shoals Primary and Ware Shoals High, face more significant challenges in terms of academic performance.
Ware Shoals Elementary Middle is the top-performing school in the area, ranking 117 out of 325 South Carolina middle schools and earning a 3-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and mathematics are above the state and district averages across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Ware Shoals High lags behind in certain subject areas, such as Algebra 1 and U.S. History, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state and district.
The schools in the 29692 zip code serve a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. However, all three schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population in the area. This socioeconomic challenge may be a contributing factor to the academic underperformance observed in some of the schools. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there are opportunities for improvement, particularly at Ware Shoals Primary and Ware Shoals High, with targeted interventions and support.
