Summary:
The city of Cayce, South Carolina is home to a single high school, Brookland-Cayce High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.
Brookland-Cayce High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on end-of-course exams generally declining from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year and falling below the district and state averages in most subjects. The school's four-year graduation rate of 85.4% is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.3% is slightly higher. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, significantly above the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,313, its academic and other key metrics remain below state and Lexington 02 district averages. This suggests that additional resources alone may not be enough to improve student outcomes at Brookland-Cayce High School, and a more comprehensive approach addressing both academic and non-academic factors may be necessary to address the challenges the school is facing.
