Summary

Loris High is a public high school in Loris, South Carolina, serving 864 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Academically, Loris High's performance on End-of-Course (EOCEP) tests is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects, with the exception of English 2, where the school's performance is better. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 82.0% and 89.0% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. Additionally, Loris High has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.2% to 31.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as HCS Early College High and HCS Scholars Academy High, which are ranked in the top 10 of South Carolina high schools, Loris High's academic performance is generally lower. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranging from 69.33% to 82.63% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be contributing to these challenges. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $14,122 to $16,012 per student, the academic outcomes have not significantly improved, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach to address both academic and non-academic factors.
