Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29461

Summary:

The 29461 zip code area in South Carolina is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Berkeley 01 school district. While the district is ranked 37 out of 75 in the state, the schools in this area show a range of performance, with some standout institutions like Bowen's Corner Elementary and Berkeley County Middle College High leading the way.

Bowen's Corner Elementary is a top performer, consistently ranking in the top 35% of South Carolina elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its strong test scores, with over 50% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, contrast with the struggles of schools like Berkeley Elementary, Moncks Corner Elementary, and Macedonia Middle, which have test scores well below the state and district averages. The data suggests a correlation between high free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic performance, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.

The 29461 zip code schools also demonstrate significant racial and ethnic diversity, with some institutions like Bowen's Corner having a much higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to the state average. The data underscores the critical role of middle schools in preparing students for high school, as the performance of Berkeley Middle and Macedonia Middle is mixed, with strengths in Algebra 1 but lower proficiency in other core subjects. Overall, the analysis of schools in this area reveals both areas of strength and areas needing improvement within the Berkeley 01 school district.
