Summary:
The Dorchester 04 area of South Carolina has only one high school, Woodland High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 669 students. While Woodland High has seen a decline in its rankings and ratings over the past few years, it does show some academic strengths, particularly in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 and English 2, where students perform better than the state average.
However, the school faces significant challenges, with a 4-year graduation rate slightly below the state average, a higher-than-average dropout rate, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%. Academically, Woodland High students perform worse than the state average in English 1 and U.S. History and the Constitution. The school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio, the school's overall performance suggests that it may need additional support and resources to improve outcomes for its students. While Woodland High has some areas of academic strength, the data indicates that it is a struggling school that faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to the students it serves.
