Summary

Mid-Carolina High is a public high school located in Prosperity, South Carolina, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 692 students. The school is part of the Newberry 01 school district, which is ranked 32 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mid-Carolina High consistently outperforms the Newberry 01 district and the state of South Carolina in end-of-course (EOCEP) assessments across various subjects like Algebra, English, and U.S. History. For example, in 2024-2025, 91.73% of students at Mid-Carolina High were proficient or better in Algebra, compared to 82.35% in the Newberry 01 district and 73.95% statewide. The school's performance on EOCEP assessments has been steadily improving over the years, with the percentage of students scoring proficient or better increasing across most subject areas. Mid-Carolina High has also maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 83.8% to 90.2% over the past few years, which is on par with or slightly higher than the Newberry 01 district.

While Mid-Carolina High outperforms the nearby Newberry High School in academic performance, graduation rates, and dropout rates, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Lexington 05 district, such as Lexington High, Dutch Fork High, and Chapin High, which have consistently ranked among the top schools in the state. Additionally, Mid-Carolina High has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17% to 24.7% in recent years, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
