Summary:
The city of Batesburg-Leesville, South Carolina is home to 4 schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools in this district face consistent academic challenges, with most earning low statewide rankings and ratings. However, the schools serve a diverse, high-poverty student population that presents unique needs and opportunities for improvement.
Batesburg-Leesville High School and Batesburg-Leesville Primary School stand out in the data. The middle school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, while the primary school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio that could contribute to more personalized attention. However, all schools in the Lexington 03 district struggle with low proficiency rates in Math and Science compared to English Language Arts.
The high poverty levels across all schools, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, present significant challenges that the district must address. Collaborative efforts to share best practices and target the unique needs of this high-poverty student population could be key to driving overall improvement in academic performance and student outcomes in Batesburg-Leesville.
