Best Public Schools in Zip Code 29841

Summary:

The 29841 zip code area in South Carolina is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Aiken 01 school district. While the district is ranked 39 out of 75 in the state with a 3-star rating, a few standout schools in the area are performing exceptionally well.

Hammond Hill Elementary and Belvedere Elementary both rank in the top 25% of elementary schools in South Carolina, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools have consistently high test scores, with 70-80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 60-75% proficient in Math. Additionally, Paul Knox Middle stands out for its exceptional performance in Algebra 1, with nearly 100% of students proficient.

However, the data also reveals some challenges faced by schools in the 29841 zip code. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% is higher than the state average, and the two schools with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Mossy Creek Elementary and Highland Springs Middle, have lower test scores compared to their peers. This highlights the need for additional resources and support to address the unique challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the area.
