Summary:
The 29128 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Rafting Creek Elementary and West Lee Elementary) and 1 high school (Lewis High). These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with both elementary schools reporting a 100% free/reduced lunch rate.
Rafting Creek Elementary and West Lee Elementary have consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of South Carolina elementary schools, with 0-1 star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with only 15-23.8% of students proficient in ELA and 9.5-20% proficient in Math. In contrast, Lewis High has a very small enrollment of just 6 students, with an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 3.
The data suggests that the schools in the 29128 zip code area face significant challenges in providing quality education to their students. Addressing the underlying issues, such as the high-poverty student populations and the consistently low academic performance, should be a priority for the Sumter 01, Lee 01, and Dept Of Correction N04 districts to ensure that all students in this area have access to a high-quality education.
