Summary:
The Barnwell 45 school district in South Carolina has only one high school, Barnwell High, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 564 students. Barnwell High has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American students, but its academic performance is generally below the state and district averages on End-of-Course Exams (EOCEP).
Despite spending $14,532 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.4, Barnwell High is ranked 159 out of 235 South Carolina high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 150 out of 237 schools in 2022-2023 to 175 out of 226 schools in 2021-2022. The high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the academic challenges.
Overall, the data suggests that Barnwell 45 district and Barnwell High face significant challenges in supporting student academic achievement, despite the school's diverse student population and relatively high resource allocation. Targeted interventions and a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's performance may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements.
