High Schools in Calhoun 01

Summary:

The Calhoun County High is the sole high school serving grades 9-12 in the Calhoun 01 district of South Carolina. With an enrollment of 418 students, the school faces some academic challenges, particularly in English and social studies, but also has resources that could be leveraged to support student success.

Calhoun County High's four-year graduation rate of 85.4% is slightly below the state average, while its dropout rate of 2.3% is relatively low. However, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism at 22.5%, which may contribute to its mixed academic performance. On state assessments, the school scored below the state average in Algebra 1/Math, English 1, and U.S. History, but performed slightly above average in English 2.

Despite these academic challenges, Calhoun County High benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and spends $16,754 per student, which is higher than the state average. These resources could be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of English and social studies where the school is underperforming.
