Summary

Abbeville High is a public high school in Abbeville, South Carolina, serving 427 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Abbeville 60 school district, which is ranked 10th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Abbeville High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from 43rd to 138th out of South Carolina high schools.

Abbeville High has shown strong performance in certain subject areas, with 89.31% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, outperforming both the Abbeville 60 district (91.92%) and the state average (73.95%). However, the school struggled in English 1 (47.42% proficient) and U.S. History and the Constitution (53.39% proficient), both of which were below the district and state averages. The school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.8% to 89.6% over the past few years, on par with the graduation rates of the nearby Dixie High School (85.4%) but slightly lower than the state average.

Abbeville High faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (66.51% to 74% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (22.5% to 24.7% in recent years). The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past few years, from 65th in 2021-2022 to 131st in 2024-2025. By addressing these areas of concern and learning from the successes of nearby high-performing schools like Dixie High, Abbeville High can work to improve its overall academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
