Summary:

The 29039 zip code is home to a single public high school, Edisto High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 661 students. Located in the Orangeburg District, which is ranked 66 out of 75 districts in South Carolina and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Edisto High School has faced academic challenges in recent years.

Edisto High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, going from 139 out of 237 schools in 2022-2023 (2-star rating) to 207 out of 235 schools in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school's test scores are generally below the state average, with lower performance than the Orangeburg district and South Carolina state averages across various End-of-Course Exams (EOCEP) in subjects like Algebra, English, and U.S. History. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% for the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite these academic struggles, Edisto High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.7, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively to support student learning. However, the school's high poverty level, as indicated by the 100% free/reduced lunch rate, may be a significant factor in the academic performance of its students. Overall, Edisto High School appears to be facing significant challenges and may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
