Summary

South Pointe High in Rock Hill, SC, serves approximately 1,128 students in grades 9-12 within the York 03 school district, which holds a 3-star rating statewide. The school has shown a positive trajectory in recent years, climbing from the mid-30th percentile rankings in 2017-2019 to its current 58th percentile (3 stars) in 2025-2026, with its best performance coming this year when it ranked 103rd out of 245 schools statewide.

South Pointe's most distinctive strength lies in its exceptional outcomes for specific student groups. The school ranks in the 91st percentile (5 stars) for disabled students—12th out of 136 schools statewide—a consistent pattern of excellence over the past three years. Similarly, African American students perform strongly, ranking in the 84th percentile (4 stars) in 2025-2026, up from the 61st percentile the previous year. The school also achieved an impressive 88% proficiency rate on the English 1 exam in 2023-2024, dramatically outpacing both district (67.5%) and state (62.9%) averages. However, Algebra 1 proficiency (56.4%) lags behind both district (67.7%) and state (64.6%) averages, and the school's dropout rate of 4.3% is more than double the state average (2.1%).

South Pointe invests significantly more per student ($17,068) than nearby competitors like Rock Hill High ($14,729) and Northwestern High ($14,534), and maintains a favorable 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio. The school has also made remarkable progress reducing chronic absenteeism from 32.2% in 2021-2022 to 21.6% in 2024-2025, now in line with the state average. While its overall ranking places it in the middle tier, South Pointe's success with students who often face achievement gaps elsewhere makes it a compelling option—especially when compared to the elite York 04 schools just 10-14 miles away, such as Fort Mill High (96th percentile) and Catawba Ridge High (95th percentile).
