Summary

Greg Mathis Charter High is a public charter high school located in North Charleston, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 61 students. The school is part of the Charleston 01 school district, which is ranked 23 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Greg Mathis Charter High has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in South Carolina, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance is particularly concerning for its African American and low-socioeconomic status student populations, ranking 191 out of 194 high schools in the state for African American students and 226 out of 226 high schools for low-socioeconomic status students. Additionally, the school has struggled with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism, all of which are significantly worse than state and district averages.

When compared to other nearby high schools in the Charleston 01 district, such as Charleston School of the Arts and Academic Magnet High, Greg Mathis Charter High performs significantly worse across a range of metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Despite the school's poor performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $29,182 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the school's ability to translate funding into improved student outcomes.
