High Schools in Georgetown 01

The Georgetown 01 school district in South Carolina is home to 4 high schools: Georgetown High, Waccamaw High, Andrews High, and Carvers Bay Early College and Career High. The data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, with Waccamaw High standing out as the top performer in the district.

Waccamaw High consistently ranks among the top 44-64 high schools in the state and maintains a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has the highest test scores across the board, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Andrews High and Carvers Bay Early College and Career High are the lower-performing schools, ranked in the bottom quarter of high schools statewide and with 0-1 star ratings from SchoolDigger.

The data also reveals high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 22.5% to 22.5%, which is a significant concern and likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending suggests the district may not be allocating resources equitably across the schools, as the higher-spending schools are not seeing commensurate improvements in performance.
