Summary:
The Colleton 01 school district in South Carolina has only one high school, Colleton County High, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 1,396 students.
Colleton County High has faced significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates on end-of-course exams (EOCEPs) that are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects tested. For example, in Algebra 1/Mathematics, the school had a 51.39% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 73.95%. Similarly, in English 1, the school's proficiency rate was 28.06%, compared to the state average of 61.66%. The school's 4-year graduation rate was 85.4%, and its dropout rate was 2.3% for the 2023-2024 school year.
Additionally, Colleton County High serves a high-needs population, with 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 190 out of 237 schools in 2022-2023 to 222 out of 235 schools in 2023-2024, and is projected to drop further to 228 out of 235 schools in 2024-2025. Despite a relatively high spending per student ($13,777) and a student-teacher ratio of 17.1, the school appears to be struggling to effectively allocate its resources to support student learning and achievement.
