Summary

Dixie High in Due West, SC, is a small, high-performing school serving 565 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Abbeville 60 school district, which ranks in the 75th percentile statewide.

This school consistently punches above its weight. In the most recent school year, 85.5% of Dixie High students scored proficient on the English 1 end-of-course exam, compared to just 60.9% statewide and 62.8% across the district. That’s nearly double the proficiency rate at the district’s other high school, Abbeville High, where only 47.8% of students were proficient. Dixie High’s overall state ranking (32nd out of 245 schools) puts it in the top 15% of all South Carolina high schools, far ahead of nearby Emerald High (124th), Greenwood High, and Abbeville High (146th). Only Crescent High (24th) ranks comparably in the region.

What makes Dixie High especially noteworthy is how well it serves students from all backgrounds. Its low-income students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide, showing the school is effective at closing achievement gaps. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism at 15.6%—well below the state average of 22.3% and far better than Ware Shoals High (32.3%) or Crescent High (28.7%). Graduation rates rebounded to 92.4% after a one-year dip, and the school achieves all this while spending less per student ($13,587) than several lower-performing neighbors. For parents seeking a school that delivers strong academics, consistent results, and efficient use of resources, Dixie High is a standout choice in the Upstate region.
