Fox Creek High has consistently ranked in the top half of South Carolina high schools, with a ranking as high as 48th out of 225 schools in the 2018-2019 school year.

The school has also seen a significant increase in its per-student spending, from $4,322 in 2018-2019 to $12,814 in 2023-2024, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.1 to 17.1 over the past few years.

While Fox Creek High performs well overall, its performance on certain subgroups is more mixed. The school's ranking for African American students and low socioeconomic status students is lower than its overall ranking, indicating a need to address achievement gaps. Additionally, Fox Creek High's ranking for gifted and talented students is particularly low, suggesting that the school may need to focus more on providing appropriate challenges and opportunities for its high-achieving students. The school has also experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.3% to 24.7% over the past few years, which is an area that the school may need to address to improve student engagement and academic outcomes.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Monday, June 12, 2017

The original purpose of FC was in backlash to the district not wanting to build a centralized high school. SInce then it has turned into an 'alternative' school for athletes who otherwise would never play at the larger high schools, students whose parents would rather have them to go to a mostly white school with minimal diversity. The high school several years ago was said to not have a library, but did have a weight room... A high school...without a proper library which to read the classic comedies or tragedies, to study in, to research.. High school should be fun, sports are great, but not elementary challenging, nor athletics first, bones breaks and ligaments tear. Close Quote
