Summary:
The Lexington 04 district in South Carolina contains 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state.
One standout school is the Swansea High Freshman Academy, an alternative school for 9th grade students that has exceptional test scores, with 97.43% proficiency in Algebra 1/Mathematics and 100% proficiency in English 2. In contrast, the district's graduation rate of 85.4% at Swansea High is below the state average, and all schools in the district have very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 22.5% to 22.5%.
Another bright spot is Sandhills Elementary, which has relatively strong performance, ranking in the top half of South Carolina elementary schools. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools having 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. Addressing these equity issues and implementing effective strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the Lexington 04 district.
