Summary

East Clarendon Middle-High is a public school serving 728 students in grades 6-12 in Turbeville, South Carolina, which is part of the Clarendon 06 school district. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic measures, with strong proficiency rates in end-of-course exams and state assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, East Clarendon had 77.77% proficiency in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, compared to 62.81% for the Clarendon 06 district and 73.95% for the state.

East Clarendon Middle-High also maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 82.4% to 89.8% over the past few years, and low dropout rates. The school's Gifted and Talented program is particularly strong, ranking 26 out of 153 South Carolina high schools. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.8% to 28.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Manning High in the same district, East Clarendon Middle-High generally outperforms them in academic measures and graduation rates. However, Lamar High, a school in the neighboring Darlington 01 district, has a higher student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, which may contribute to its stronger performance in some areas.
