Summary:
The Greenwood 51 school district in South Carolina has only one high school, Ware Shoals High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 246 students. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 85.4% is slightly lower than the state average, its dropout rate of 2.3% is slightly higher. However, the school faces significant challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% that is significantly higher than the state average.
Academically, Ware Shoals High consistently underperforms the district and state averages in various subject areas, including Algebra 1, English 1, U.S. History, and English 2. The school is ranked 166 out of 235 South Carolina high schools and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may face difficulties in providing a high-quality education to its students, despite its higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,694.
The high percentage of students (76.42%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to its academic performance and other outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and academic underperformance, through targeted interventions and effective resource allocation could help Ware Shoals High improve its outcomes and better serve its student population.
