Summary:
The city of Pageland, South Carolina is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Petersburg Primary and Pageland Elementary) and one high school (Central High) - all of which are performing below average compared to state and district standards. The schools serve students in the Chesterfield 01 district.
Based on the available data, none of the three schools in Pageland can be considered standout performers. Central High has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of high schools in South Carolina, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Similarly, Pageland Elementary has ranked in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating. Test scores at all three schools are significantly below state and district averages, particularly in math and science.
The schools in Pageland face several challenges, including high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 85.4% at Central High to 100% at the two elementary schools) and high chronic absenteeism rates (around 22.5% at all three schools). Despite relatively high spending per student (ranging from $11,828 at Central High to $13,293 at Petersburg Primary) and low student-teacher ratios, the schools have struggled to improve student outcomes over time.
