Summary

Newberry High is a public high school in Newberry, South Carolina, serving 809 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Newberry High faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of South Carolina high schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams is generally below the district and state averages, with particularly low proficiency rates in English 1 and U.S. History. Additionally, Newberry High's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.1% to 85.4%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 2.3% and 3.5%, higher than the state's average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Spring Hill High and Chapin High, which are part of the Lexington 05 district, consistently outperform Newberry High on academic measures. In contrast, Odyssey Online Learning, a public charter virtual school, has lower academic performance than Newberry High. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.4% to 27.3% over the past 5 years, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.
