Newberry 01

The Newberry 01 school district in South Carolina consists of 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying levels of academic performance across the schools.

The standout schools in the district are Mid-Carolina High School and Mid-Carolina Middle School, both of which consistently rank among the top schools in the state with 4-star ratings. These schools boast strong test scores, with over 80% proficiency in Algebra 1 and English 2 at the high school level, and over 50% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels at the middle school. In contrast, some schools, like Newberry Middle and Newberry Elementary, struggle with proficiency rates well below the state average.

The data also reveals a significant correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with schools that have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Newberry Middle and Newberry Elementary, tending to have the lowest test scores. This suggests a need for the Newberry 01 district to focus on developing targeted strategies and allocating resources to support economically disadvantaged students and ensure equitable access to high-quality education across all schools.
