Summary:
The 29112 zip code area is home to two schools - North Middle/High School, serving grades 6-12, and Dover Elementary School, serving grades PK-5. Both schools are part of the Orangeburg School District and have seen improvements in their statewide rankings in recent years, though they continue to face challenges related to student attendance and economic disadvantage in the community.
North Middle/High School stands out as the only high school in the 29112 zip code, with a steady improvement in its statewide ranking and generally higher test scores than the district and state averages, particularly in Algebra 1/Mathematics, English 1, and English 2. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% and a low 4-year graduation rate of 85.4%. Dover Elementary School has also seen an improvement in its statewide ranking and outperforms the district averages in Mathematics for grades 3-5, but it too faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%.
Both schools have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. While North Middle/High School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Dover Elementary School, the data suggests that the schools in the 29112 zip code area continue to face significant challenges related to student attendance, economic disadvantage, and resource allocation that may be impacting their overall performance.
