Summary:
The Greenwood 51 school district in South Carolina serves students from 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across the district, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.
Ware Shoals Elementary Middle School emerges as a standout, ranking 117 out of 320 South Carolina middle schools and outperforming state and district averages in English Language Arts proficiency. Similarly, Ware Shoals High School boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% and strong performance in English 2 End-of-Course exams. However, all three schools in the district struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly above the state average.
The data also reveals consistent underperformance in mathematics across all grade levels and schools, with proficiency rates significantly lower than state averages. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility suggest the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges observed. While per-student spending is relatively high, the data indicates potential issues with staffing, resource allocation, or other systemic factors that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes in the Greenwood 51 district.
