Summary

Johnsonville High is a small, rural high school in Johnsonville, SC, serving 325 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Florence 05 school district. The school currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 38th percentile statewide, a significant drop from its 4-star status just a few years ago.

Academically, Johnsonville shows a clear split between subjects. In the most recent testing year, 75% of students scored proficient in Algebra 1—well above the state average of 64.58% and among the best in the area. However, English 1 proficiency sits at just 48.71%, more than 12 points below the state average, and U.S. History proficiency (50.01%) also trails the state. This pattern has persisted for several years, suggesting math is a genuine strength while literacy skills need attention. The school also faces a persistent gender gap: female students rank in the 45th percentile statewide, while male students rank in the 32nd. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has climbed from 20.9% to 28.6% in just one year, well above the state average of 22.3%—a trend that likely impacts classroom consistency and learning outcomes.

Compared to nearby schools, Johnsonville's situation is mixed. Just 4.7 miles away, Hemingway High spends significantly more per student ($24,748 vs. $15,192) yet struggles with a staggering 52.8% chronic absenteeism rate. Meanwhile, Aynor High, about 18 miles away, demonstrates what's possible with 75.4% English proficiency and a 96.1% graduation rate. On a positive note, Johnsonville's graduation rate has rebounded to 88.8%, above the state average. For parents, the key takeaway is that Johnsonville excels in math but needs focused support in English, attendance, and closing achievement gaps for male students.
