Summary:
The 29164 zip code area in South Carolina is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Aiken 01 school district. While the district is ranked 39 out of 75 in the state, the schools in this area appear to be performing below the state and district averages on various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Based on the data, there are no clear standout schools in the 29164 zip code area. Cyril B. Busbee Elementary and A.L. Corbett Middle both have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. Similarly, Wagener-Sally High has lower proficiency rates in Algebra 1, English 1, and U.S. History, though it performs better in English 2.
Additionally, all three schools have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This, coupled with the high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% across all schools, may be contributing to the overall low academic performance in the area. While the high school has the highest spending per student at $18,661, the elementary school has the lowest at $11,524, suggesting a need for more equitable resource allocation within the district.
