Summary:

The 29527 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school - all part of the Horry 01 school district, which is ranked 9th out of 75 districts in South Carolina. While Whittemore Park Middle School excels in one subject area, the two elementary schools, Pee Dee Elementary and Academy of Hope Charter, struggle to meet district and state averages in academic performance.

Whittemore Park Middle School stands out with the largest student enrollment and the highest percentage of students proficient or better in EOCEP/Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 at 98%, significantly higher than the Horry 01 district (88.32%) and the state average (72.5%).

The two elementary schools in the area face additional challenges. Academy of Hope Charter has the smallest student enrollment and a significantly higher percentage of African American students (62.61%), but it has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools with a 1-star rating. Meanwhile, Pee Dee Elementary generally performs better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-5. All three schools have 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.
