Summary:
The 29565 zip code is home to a single high school, Latta High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Dillon 03 school district. While the school has some areas of strength, such as consistent performance in English 2 and a relatively low dropout rate, it also faces challenges, including fluctuating academic achievement in other subjects and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Latta High School is ranked 114 out of 235 South Carolina high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 85.4%, slightly lower than the state average. However, the school's dropout rate of 2.3% for the same year is relatively low. One area of concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average.
Academically, Latta High School has shown strengths in English 2, with proficiency rates above 90% in both the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years. However, the school's performance in other subjects, such as Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2 and U.S. History and the Constitution, has been more variable, with proficiency rates ranging from below the state average to above it. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $11,069 for the 2023-2024 school year and the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (73.4%) suggest that the school may face challenges in providing resources and support to its economically disadvantaged student population.
