Dorman High's academic performance, as measured by end-of-course exam (EOCEP) proficiency rates, is generally below the state and district averages across subjects like Algebra 1, English 1, U.S. History, and English 2. For example, in 2024-2025, Dorman High's Algebra 1 proficiency rate was 72.44% compared to the state average of 73.95% and the Spartanburg 06 district average of 75.7%. The school's performance on these standardized tests has been declining over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping across multiple subjects. Additionally, Dorman High's four-year graduation rate has been around 85-87% in recent years, which is slightly below the state average, and the school's dropout rate has been between 2.3-3.4% in the past few years, which is higher than the state average.
Interestingly, Dorman High's performance lags behind that of nearby high schools, such as Boiling Springs High, Broome High, and James F. Byrnes High, which are all part of different school districts. These neighboring schools generally have higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism compared to Dorman High. For instance, Boiling Springs High's Algebra 1 proficiency rate was 87.3% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than Dorman High's 72.44%. These differences in performance may be attributed to a combination of funding, resource allocation, and socioeconomic factors, as Dorman High has a high percentage of students (around 70%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of low-income students.
