Summary:
The 29306 zip code area of Spartanburg, South Carolina is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools serve a high-poverty student population, with all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the academic performance of these institutions varies significantly.
Carver Middle School stands out for its exceptional proficiency rates in EOCEP/Algebra 1 assessments, far exceeding the district and state averages. However, the school's performance on SC READY English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments is below the district and state levels across most grade levels, and it has a concerning high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%. In contrast, Woodland Heights Elementary demonstrates strong proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, often surpassing the district and state averages. Yet, the school's performance on the SC READY Science assessment for 4th grade is lower than the district and state.
Another standout school is Meeting Street Academy-Spartanburg, which consistently outperforms the district and state on SC READY assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This success may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the performance gaps between the schools in the 29306 zip code area, particularly for the lower-performing institutions.
