Dillon 04

Summary:

The Dillon 04 district in South Carolina serves students from 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, a few schools stand out with stronger performance.

Dillon Middle School had the highest proficiency rates on the Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 end-of-course exam, with 100% of students scoring proficient or better. In contrast, Lake View High School had the highest proficiency rates on the English 2 end-of-course exam, with 84.94% of students scoring proficient or better, despite the school's overall below-average performance.

The district faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and consistently high chronic absenteeism across all schools. Additionally, all schools in the district have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the district as a whole underperforms compared to state averages, the data suggests that addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and leveraging the success of standout schools could help drive improvement district-wide.
