Summary:
The 29153 zip code in South Carolina is home to a single public high school, Crestwood High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 1,117 students. Crestwood High School is part of the Sumter 01 School District, which is ranked 67th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Crestwood High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 126th out of 237 high schools in 2022-2023 to 214th out of 235 high schools in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by end-of-course assessments, is consistently lower than both the district and state averages. Additionally, Crestwood High School has a high rate of chronic absenteeism, at 22.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's challenges, it receives slightly higher per-student spending than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average as well. However, these additional resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. The high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's struggles, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the underlying issues contributing to Crestwood High School's poor performance.
