Summary:
The 29577 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area generally perform below district and state averages on standardized tests, Palmetto Academy of Learning and Success Charter stands out as a top-performing school, consistently outpacing its peers.
Myrtle Beach High has shown steady improvement in recent years, with a graduation rate of 85.4% and a relatively low dropout rate of 2.3%. However, the school's test scores are mixed, with stronger performance in Math/Algebra but lower scores in English/History. The majority of schools in the area have 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population, which likely impacts student learning and achievement.
Despite the high spending per student, which ranges from $8,273 at Palmetto Academy to $13,524 at Myrtle Beach Early Childhood, the performance gap between Palmetto Academy and the other schools in the area is quite significant. This suggests the charter school may be employing effective teaching methods or attracting a different student population. Overall, the data highlights both strengths and areas for improvement in the schools serving the 29577 zip code, providing valuable insights for the Horry 01 district and the community to consider.
