Summary:
Zip code 29620 is home to a single high school, Abbeville High, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 463 students in the Abbeville 60 district.
For parents considering this area, Abbeville High presents a mixed but promising picture. The school’s greatest strength is mathematics: Algebra 1 proficiency reached 96.42% in 2025-2026, far exceeding the state average of 64.58%, and improved by over 7 points from the prior year. Graduation rates are also strong at 95.3%, well above the state’s 86.7%, with a low dropout rate of just 1.5%. However, performance in other subjects lags. English 1 proficiency sits at 47.82%, about 13 points below the state average, and U.S. History proficiency dropped to 47.37%, also below state levels. Interestingly, English 2 proficiency jumps to 83.46%, suggesting students make significant gains by their sophomore year. Chronic absenteeism is a concern, affecting 23.3% of students—higher than both the district (16.3%) and state (22.3%)—even though graduation rates remain high.
The school itself earns a 2-star rating and ranks in the 40th percentile statewide, while its district, Abbeville 60, holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 75th percentile. This gap indicates the high school underperforms relative to other schools in the same district, particularly in English and history. Per-student spending is substantial at $15,886, with a favorable 14.9:1 student-teacher ratio, yet these resources have not translated into top-tier results across all subjects. The clear takeaway is that Abbeville High excels in math and keeps students on track to graduate, but families should be aware of the need for extra support in early English and social studies, as well as the school’s attendance challenges.
