Summary

Green Sea Floyds High is a combined middle and high school serving 693 students in grades 6-12 in the rural community of Green Sea, South Carolina, and is part of the Horry 01 school district.

This school stands out for its remarkable academic success despite serving a student population where 100% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has climbed from the 48th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 82nd percentile in 2025-2026, a 34-point improvement. Most notably, Green Sea Floyds ranks in the 92nd percentile for academic performance with economically disadvantaged students—a top-20 finish statewide. The graduation rate has also jumped from 79.4% to 93.0% over the past few years, now exceeding both district and state averages. English 2 scores are particularly strong at 94.29% proficiency, well above the state average of 83.79%. When compared to nearby Aynor High (14.9 miles away), the two schools rank nearly identically statewide, even though Green Sea Floyds serves a much higher-need population. The school also significantly outperforms Loris High in English, U.S. History, and graduation rates.

The school invests heavily in student success, spending $19,841 per student with a favorable 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio—much lower than nearby schools like Aynor (18:1) or Loris (15.8:1). However, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 28.1%, notably higher than the state average of 22.3%. Middle school math scores also lag behind district averages, though students who reach Algebra 1 perform well. Despite these challenges, the school has shown dramatic improvement with African American students, jumping from the 46th to the 96th percentile in just two years. The unique 6-12 grade configuration allows students to build strong relationships with staff over seven years, contributing to a cohesive school culture that clearly supports academic achievement.
