Summary:
The Union 01 school district in South Carolina is home to a single high school, Union County High, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,069 students.
While Union County High spends more per student than the state average, its performance lags behind in several key areas. The school's four-year graduation rate of 85.4% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.3% is slightly higher. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant concern, with a rate of 22.5% compared to the state average. Academically, Union County High's test scores are consistently lower than state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 40.56% in English 1 to 79.3% in English 2, compared to state averages of 61.66% and 86.41%, respectively.
The data suggests that students at Union County High face significant challenges, with 100% of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the school's higher-than-average spending per student and student-teacher ratio of 21.3 to 1 may indicate a commitment to supporting its students, the consistently poor academic performance and high rates of absenteeism and dropout suggest that additional targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve outcomes for the students of Union County High.
