Summary

Conway High in Conway, SC, is a large comprehensive high school serving approximately 1,724 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Horry 01 school district, a district ranked in the top 12% of districts statewide.

One of the most significant challenges facing Conway High is chronic absenteeism. At 32.5% for the 2024-2025 school year, this rate is dramatically higher than the district average of 19.4% and the state average of 22.3%. It also exceeds every comparable traditional high school in the area, including Aynor High (25.0%), Socastee High (23.0%), and Carolina Forest High (23.0%). This issue has persisted for several years, with rates consistently between 30-35%. Academically, the school's weakest area is English 1 proficiency, where only 58.24% of students met standards in 2024-2025, compared to 80.18% at Aynor High and 74.95% at Socastee High. The school also trails its peers in U.S. History proficiency.

Despite these challenges, Conway High shows notable strengths and positive momentum. The graduation rate has improved dramatically from 77.6% in 2020-2021 to 90.4% in 2024-2025, now exceeding both the district (89.6%) and state (86.7%) averages. The dropout rate of 1.4% is below the state average of 2.1%. Algebra 1 proficiency has also surged from 69.47% to 85.92% over three years, now exceeding the state average by 12 percentage points. The school's per-student spending of $13,969 is in the middle of the pack among nearby schools. While subgroup performance has shown some year-to-year volatility, and English Language Learner support appears to need attention, Conway High's overall trajectory in graduation and math achievement suggests that targeted interventions can be effective. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate remains the most pressing concern for parents to be aware of.
