Summary:
The 29563 zip code in South Carolina is home to two underperforming schools: Lake View High and Lake View Elementary. Both schools are rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating they are struggling to meet academic standards compared to other schools in the state.
The data shows that Lake View High and Lake View Elementary have consistently low statewide rankings, placing in the bottom quarter of schools in South Carolina. Their test scores are significantly lower than the Dillon 04 district and the state average across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 42.86% of Lake View High students were proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics, compared to 57.82% in the district and 73.95% statewide.
Additionally, Lake View High has an 85.4% four-year graduation rate, which is lower than the state average, and a 2.3% dropout rate, which is higher. Both schools also have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population, and relatively high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the relatively high per-student spending, the schools have high student-teacher ratios, suggesting that resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning.
