Summary:
Zip code 29322 (Campobello, SC) is home to just one high school, Landrum High, a mid-sized rural school serving grades 9-12 with 526 students.
Landrum High stands out for its strong student support systems. The school boasts a 94.1% graduation rate, well above the state average of 86.7%, and a remarkably low dropout rate of just 1.0% compared to the state's 2.1%. Chronic absenteeism (21.0%) is also slightly better than the state average (22.3%). The learning environment is favorable, with a 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $14,249, suggesting students receive personalized attention. The school belongs to Spartanburg 01, a top-20% district in South Carolina (ranked 15th of 75 districts with a 4-star rating).
However, academic performance has been inconsistent and recently declined. The school's state ranking dropped dramatically from 42nd (82nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2024-2025 to 112th (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-2026. This decline is reflected in test scores: English 1 proficiency fell from 69.5% to 61.1%, and U.S. History dropped from 72.0% to 61.6%. The most critical weakness is Algebra 1, where only 59.7% of students are proficient—a staggering 21-point gap compared to the district's 81.0% and nearly 5 points below the state average (64.6%). On the positive side, English 2 remains a clear strength at 84.2% proficiency, nearly matching the district (85.9%) and exceeding the state (83.8%). The broad-based declines across multiple subjects suggest systemic factors rather than isolated issues, and the ranking volatility may indicate sensitivity to cohort changes. Parents should monitor the 2026-2027 data to determine whether this is a trend or an anomaly, but the school's excellent graduation outcomes demonstrate that students are well-supported in completing their education.
