Summary

Aynor High is a comprehensive public high school in the rural community of Aynor, SC, serving 901 students in grades 9-12 within the Horry 01 school district.

Aynor High stands out as a top performer among traditional high schools in the region. The school consistently earns 4-5 star ratings and ranks in the top 20% of South Carolina high schools. Its 2024-2025 graduation rate of 96.1% far exceeds the state average of 86.7% and beats every nearby traditional high school, including Conway High (90.4%) and Green Sea Floyds High (93.0%). The school also excels in English and U.S. History, with proficiency rates 15-25 percentage points above state averages. In 2024-2025, 80.2% of students scored proficient on English 1, compared to just 58.2% at Conway High. Perhaps most impressive is the school's success with students who face economic challenges—nearly the entire student body qualifies for free/reduced lunch, yet the school ranked in the top 16% statewide for low-income student performance in 2025-2026. The school also provides outstanding support for students with disabilities, ranking in the top 12% statewide.

The school's primary challenge is chronic absenteeism, which ran at 25% in 2024-2025—higher than the state average of 22.3%. Despite this, the dropout rate remains remarkably low at just 1.0%, less than half the state rate. While the most recent state ranking dipped slightly to 41st (from 23rd the prior year), the school remains in the top 17% statewide and continues to outperform all traditional peer schools on core academic measures. With per-student spending of $16,259—less than several schools with weaker results—Aynor High demonstrates that rural, high-poverty schools can achieve exceptional outcomes through effective teaching and strong student support.
