Summary:
The Jasper 01 school district in South Carolina is home to two high schools: Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence and Hardeeville Junior/Senior High. Both schools are underperforming, ranking in the bottom quarter of high schools in the state and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Proficiency rates on state assessments are low at both schools, with Ridgeland Secondary Academy of Excellence scoring below the district and state averages in most subject areas. Hardeeville Junior/Senior High performs slightly better in some subjects, but still lags behind state-level performance. Both schools have a 4-year graduation rate of 85.4%, which is below the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, significantly above the state average.
The data suggests systemic challenges within the Jasper 01 district, as the low academic performance and high poverty rates (100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) persist across both high schools. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for students in the district.
