Summary:
The Lee 01 school district in South Carolina consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the schools in this district appear to be underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
None of the schools in the district stand out as clear high-performers. Lower Lee Elementary has slightly better test scores than the other elementary schools, but all schools in the district have significantly lower proficiency rates than the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, only 53.01% of students at Lee Central High were proficient in Algebra 1/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 73.95%. The district also struggles with low graduation rates, high chronic absenteeism, and very high levels of poverty, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the Lee 01 district are not translating these resources into better academic outcomes. Addressing the underlying issues, such as poverty and resource allocation, will likely be crucial for improving student performance across the district.
