However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various End-of-Course Exams (EOCEP), is generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, Greenwood High's proficiency rates were 48.69% in Algebra 1/Mathematics, 46% in Biology 1/Applied Biology 2, and 42.76% in English 2, compared to the state averages of 68.32%, 59.14%, and 60.79%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, English Language Learners, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, is particularly concerning, with these subgroups consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of South Carolina high schools.
Greenwood High's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 65th out of 203 high schools in 2012-2013 to 167th out of 237 high schools in 2022-2023. When compared to nearby schools, such as Dixie High in the Abbeville 60 School District, Greenwood High generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in core subjects. Additionally, Greenwood High has a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, indicating that the majority of its students come from low-income families, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges and achievement gaps.
