High Schools in Chesterfield 01

Summary:

The Chesterfield 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 4 high schools: Chesterfield High, Cheraw High, McBee High, and Central High. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and face significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency.

Chesterfield High stands out as the top performer in the district, with the highest statewide ranking, a 3-star rating, and the strongest test scores across Algebra 1, English 1, U.S. History, and English 2. Meanwhile, McBee High also shows promise, with the second-highest statewide ranking and solid performance in English Language Arts. However, all schools in the district face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism and 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.

Across the district, graduation rates are on par with the state average, but there are significant gaps in academic achievement compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics. The data suggests that targeted interventions and support in specific subject areas, as well as addressing the economic challenges faced by these students, could be key to driving better outcomes across the Chesterfield 01 school district.
