Summary:
Zip code 29545 is home to a single high school, Green Sea Floyds High, a mid-sized combined middle and high school serving grades 6 through 12 in the rural community of Green Sea, South Carolina, with a total enrollment of 693 students.
Green Sea Floyds High is part of the Horry 01 school district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 88th percentile statewide. The school itself has shown a positive trajectory in its state ranking, improving from the 74th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 82nd percentile in 2025-2026. Its standout achievement is an exceptional 94.29% proficiency rate on the English 2 EOCEP exam, which is 10.5 points above the state average. The school also boasts a strong 93% graduation rate, exceeding both the district (89.6%) and state (86.7%) averages, and a lower dropout rate of 1.6% compared to state and district figures. With a favorable 12.1:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $19,841, the school is well-resourced.
However, the data reveals a clear dichotomy in performance. While the school excels in high school-level English exams, it struggles significantly in middle school mathematics, with 8th-grade math proficiency at just 35.9%—13 points below the district average. Test scores also show dramatic year-over-year volatility, including a 25-point drop in Algebra 1 proficiency from 90.43% to 65.39%. A major concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 28.1%, which is substantially higher than the district (19.4%) and state (22.3%) averages, affecting nearly one in three students. While the school outperforms state averages in several areas, it often trails its own high-performing district in math and middle school subjects, suggesting that addressing the middle school math gap and absenteeism could be key to further improvement.
