The Dillon 03 district in South Carolina is home to a single high school, Latta High, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 406 students. While Latta High's overall performance is average, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's academic achievement shows a mixed picture, with some subject areas outperforming the district and state averages, while others lag behind.
Latta High's 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% is slightly lower than the state average, and the school's dropout rate of 2.3% is slightly higher. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is higher than the state average.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $11,069 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 16.9, Latta High serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 73.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may contribute to the school's mixed academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be influencing student outcomes. Overall, Latta High's performance highlights both its strengths and areas for improvement, providing valuable insights for the district and community to support student success.
