Summary

Cane Bay High is a public high school located in Summerville, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,490 students. It 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.

Cane Bay High generally performs better than the Berkeley 01 district and the state average on End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in English subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, Cane Bay High had 69.03% proficiency in English 1 compared to 63.58% for the district and 61.66% for the state. The school has also maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.8% to 91.7% over the past few years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the district and state averages. However, Cane Bay High has experienced a higher rate of chronic absenteeism compared to the state average, ranging from 22.5% to 33.2% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

Cane Bay High generally outperforms the other high schools in the Berkeley 01 district, such as Goose Creek High and Berkeley High, in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, it lags behind some high-performing schools in the neighboring Dorchester 02 district, such as Ashley Ridge High and Fort Dorchester High.
