Summary:
The 29536 zip code area in South Carolina is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Dillon 04 school district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools are consistently underperforming compared to the state average across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
None of the schools in the 29536 zip code area stand out as clear performers. Dillon High has a 32.03% proficiency rate in English Language Arts, significantly lower than the state average of 61.66%, while Dillon Middle has only 12.2% of 7th-grade students proficient in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 34%. Additionally, the schools have a 2.3% dropout rate, higher than the state average, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which is also significantly higher than the state average.
The data suggests that the student population in this area faces significant economic challenges, with all schools having a 100% free and reduced lunch rate. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student, ranging from $10,545 at Dillon High to $13,556 at East Elementary, the schools are still struggling to improve their performance. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to the poor academic performance of these schools.
