Greenwood 50

Summary:

The Greenwood 50 school district in South Carolina consists of 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 20 out of 75 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performing, including Hodges Elementary, which ranks 23rd out of 640 elementary schools in the state and has a 5-star rating, as well as Mathews Elementary and Pinecrest Elementary, both of which have 4-star ratings and strong performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, Westview Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra 1, with 100% of students proficient or better.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools, particularly in Mathematics, and a district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, all schools in the district have 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these equity and engagement challenges will be crucial in improving outcomes for all students across the Greenwood 50 district.
