Summary:
The city of Sumter, South Carolina is home to three high schools: Sumter High School, Crestwood High, and Lakewood High. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Sumter 01 school district.
Based on the available data, none of the three high schools in Sumter, South Carolina appear to be standout performers. All three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates on end-of-course exams compared to the state average, with proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra, English, and U.S. History ranging from around 52% to 53%, well below the state average of 73.95%. Additionally, the schools have slightly lower four-year graduation rates and slightly higher dropout rates than the state average, as well as significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The data also reveals that all three high schools have 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. This, combined with the consistently low performance across various metrics, suggests that the Sumter high schools face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students. Targeted interventions and additional support may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve the overall performance of these schools.
