Summary

Timberland High is a public high school located in Saint Stephen, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 724 students. The school is part of the Berkeley 01 School District, which is ranked 36 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Timberland High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina high schools, ranking between 120-201 out of 216-237 schools over the past 10 years, and has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Low Socioeconomic Status students, and Gifted and Talented students, who rank in the bottom 25% of high schools in the state. Timberland High's proficiency rates on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas, and the school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.5% to 85.9%, which is slightly lower than the state average.

While Timberland High's performance is generally lower than the nearby Cross High and Berkeley High schools, the Berkeley County Middle College High School, which is also in the district, consistently outperforms Timberland High and the district as a whole, ranking among the top high schools in the state. Additionally, Timberland High spends significantly more per student compared to the state average, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, and the school's high rates of chronic absenteeism suggest that it may be facing equity challenges in providing a quality education to all its students.
