Conway High

Summary:

Conway High is a public high school located in Conway, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,713 students. The school is part of the Horry 01 school district, which is ranked 9th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Conway High has a more diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, with a racial breakdown of 50.96% White, 29.01% African American, and 13.66% Hispanic. However, the school's test scores, while generally lower than the district and state averages, show some areas of strength, such as 78.87% of students being proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics, outperforming the state average of 72.5%. The school also has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.97%, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. This may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools in the Horry 01 district, such as Aynor High and Socastee High, Conway High generally performs below average on state assessments, particularly in English and history. However, the school's higher spending per student, at $12,814 in 2022-2023, may be an attempt to address the academic challenges faced by the school and support its economically disadvantaged student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
