Newberry 01

Summary:

The Newberry 01 school district in South Carolina serves 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 32 out of 75 school districts in the state and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out as high-performing in the district. Mid-Carolina High School is ranked 63 out of 235 high schools in the state and has a 4-star rating, with over 90% proficiency in Algebra 1 and English 2. Pomaria-Garmany Elementary and Little Mountain Elementary are both ranked in the top 200 elementary schools in the state and have 4-star ratings, with particularly high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals stark contrasts in performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools in the district. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across all schools, and many students face socioeconomic challenges that may impact their academic outcomes. By focusing on the practices of the high-performing schools, addressing attendance and socioeconomic issues, and promoting collaboration, the district may be able to raise the academic achievement of all its students.
