Summary:
The Lexington 03 district in South Carolina is home to a single high school, Batesburg-Leesville High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 570 students.
Batesburg-Leesville High School is ranked 193 out of 235 high schools in South Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 85.4% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.3% is slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Batesburg-Leesville High School scored below the district and state averages on most End of Course (EOCEP) exams, with the exception of the English 2 exam, where it performed slightly below the state average.
Despite the school's lower performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school serves a high-need population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The higher spending per student at Batesburg-Leesville High School, at $18,719, suggests that the district is investing resources in the school, but this investment does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
