While the schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high levels of economic disadvantage, there are also some potential bright spots that could be leveraged to improve outcomes.
Among the standout schools, Barnwell High School has relatively strong performance on some End of Course Exams, with 82.84% of students proficient or better in English 2. However, the school struggles in other subjects like Algebra 1 and U.S. History. Meanwhile, Guinyard-Butler Middle School performed well on the Algebra 1 End of Course Exam, with 82.76% of students proficient or better, but struggled on the SC READY English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments.
Overall, the schools in the 29812 zip code area serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the 100% free or reduced-price lunch rates across all four schools. While the schools spend between $13,734 and $14,532 per student, which is higher than the state average, the academic outcomes suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to the specific needs of the student population. Addressing these systemic challenges will be crucial to improving the educational outcomes for students in this area.
