Summary:
The Marlboro 01 school district in South Carolina is home to a single middle school, Blenheim Middle School of Discovery, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 380 students. Unfortunately, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 312 out of 320 middle schools in the state and earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The Marlboro 01 district itself is also ranked 73 out of 75 districts in South Carolina.
Blenheim Middle School of Discovery struggles academically, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, only 30.6%-34.2% of students are proficient or better in ELA, compared to 55.7%-58.2% statewide, and just 3.2%-13% are proficient or better in Math, compared to 32.4%-39.4% across the state. The school also has a very high rate of chronic absenteeism at 22.5%.
Despite spending $15,873 per student, which is higher than the state average, and maintaining a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, the school's academic performance remains poor. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the challenges faced by Blenheim Middle School of Discovery. Overall, the data indicates that the school and the Marlboro 01 district as a whole have significant room for improvement in order to provide students with a high-quality education.
