Summary:

The Georgetown 01 school district in South Carolina consists of 19 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 48 out of 75 in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. Waccamaw High School is ranked 39 out of 235 high schools in the state and has a 4-star rating, with strong test scores. Waccamaw Middle School is ranked 18 out of 320 middle schools in the state and has a 5-star rating, with exceptional test scores. Pleasant Hill Elementary STREAM Academy has strong performance, with higher proficiency rates than the district average.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district. The district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and high levels of economic disadvantage, with many schools having 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the district as a whole is struggling, the presence of high-performing schools suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from these successful schools and implement best practices across the district.
